April is the Month of the Military Child, and today Officer Mahan had the honor of bringing that recognition to Alma Primary School! 💜

The Month of the Military Child is dedicated to celebrating the strength, resilience, and sacrifices of children whose parents serve in the military. These kids face unique challenges—frequent moves, long separations, and constant change—yet continue to show incredible courage and adaptability.

Officer Mahan took time to speak with students about what this month represents, helping raise awareness and ensuring our military-connected children feel seen, supported, and appreciated.

We are incredibly fortunate to have Officer Mahan as part of the Alma Primary School community. His dedication goes far beyond law enforcement—he builds relationships, mentors students, and consistently shows up to make a positive impact in their lives.

Thank you, Officer Mahan, for all you do to support our students and for helping us honor our military families. 💜🇺🇸
