This visit serves as a heartfelt gesture of gratitude and encouragement from the Polis-Primavera administration towards Colorado's military community. The administration has been actively working towards improving access to healthcare, education, and economic opportunities for military families in the state.

Earlier this month, Governor Polis and Commissioner of Education Susana Córdova awarded 27 schools with the state's first-ever Purple Star School designation. Among these schools was Edna and John W. Mosley P-8 from eight different school districts and the Charter School Institute. This designation recognizes schools that have shown exceptional support for military-connected students and their families.

These awards are a result of House Bill 24-1076, which was signed into law by Governor Polis and sponsored by Reps. Bob Marshall (D-Douglas County) and Mike Weissman (D-Adams/Arapahoe) and Sens. Rhonda Fields (D-Adams/Arapahoe) and Bob Gardner (R-El Paso/Teller). The bill aims to further support military families in Colorado and ensure their children receive the best education possible.

Lt. Governor Primavera's visit to Edna and John W. Mosley P-8 is a testament to the state's commitment to honoring and supporting military-connected students and their families. Colorado takes great pride in its role in ensuring national security and military readiness.
