Students in the Engineers program at Rumsey Station Elementary welcomed a special group of guests on April 28, 2026, hosting a lunch for military families in celebration of the Month of the Military Child. Loved ones joined their students for a meaningful afternoon of connection, recognition, and community.

April is nationally recognized as the Month of the Military Child, a time set aside to honor the unique sacrifices and resilience of children in military families. By hosting a dedicated lunch event, Rumsey Station created a warm, personal way for students and their families to feel acknowledged and appreciated within their school community.

Military children often navigate frequent moves, deployments, and the challenges of maintaining stability amid change. Events like this lunch offer an important opportunity for schools to affirm that these students and their families are seen, valued, and supported.

Papillion La Vista Community Schools is proud to recognize military families throughout the year and especially during April. Rumsey Station Elementary's lunch reflects the district's ongoing commitment to honoring the service and sacrifice represented by every military family connected to PLCS.
