PCSgrades Launches #Move4MilKids Freestyle Dance Challenge

Month of the Military Child is celebrated annually throughout the month of April to honor our Nation’s 1.2 million military-connected kids. It’s not uncommon for a military kid to attend up to nine different schools in their lifetime; all while maintaining resilience through PCS moves, deployments and living apart from their extended family members.

With schools shut down across the world due to the Coronavirus pandemic and DoD travel restrictions in place, a lot of military kids are now saying “I didn’t know my last day of school was my last day forever.” Many of these children will move when the travel restrictions are lifted and won’t be able to even say goodbye to their friends.

To celebrate these amazing kids, PCSgrades is launching #Move4MilKids: a freestyle dance challenge honoring military kids throughout the month of April. “This is a fun way for both military and civilian communities to show our military kids we support them, while still adhering to social distancing guidelines during the Coronavirus pandemic,” states PCSgrades Community Outreach Manager, Stacey Benson.
