Community partners are coming together to host the second 'Day in the Life' event at Pioneer Park on April 27.
Published: Apr. 25, 2024 at 11:06 AM AKDTFAIRBANKS, Alaska - On April 27, the “Day in the Life: event will return to Pioneer Park for a second year as community partners work to bring awareness of the challenges face by military children.
One way Fairbanks continues to help civilians understand the challenges and how to help military members is through the “Day in the Life” event. While there are year round efforts to address the needs of military families and youth, particularly in the school setting, this event was created to strengthen the understanding of the military lifestyle through the lens of the kids that live it.
The event has dozens of vendor booths and activities that are meant to help educate participants about the military lifestyle and other related topics. There will also be presentations from military kids who will speak to their own experiences, which vary, but one of the hallmarks is that “military students move with their family every two to three years,” explained Farris. That means the children of career soldiers may move up to twelve times before the age of 18.
