Columbiana Exempted Village School District is inviting veterans and their families to its annual Veterans Day Ceremony on November 8, 2019.
The program involves the entire school district, students K-12. The day will start off with a complimentary breakfast for veterans at 8:45 a.m. in the high school commons. New this year, students can have breakfast with their veteran. Students and adult non-veteran guests are asked to pay $1 per person for breakfast. Reservations for breakfast can be made by emailing Megan Cowan at Megan.Cowan@columbianaschools.org or calling 330-482-3818, extension 34525 (please leave your full name and phone number). Please RSVP for the breakfast by October 25, 2019.
Following the breakfast, veterans are invited to a program thanking them for their service. The program is in the high school gym, and will include music and speeches from elementary, middle and high school students. The guest speaker is David Oesch, a CHS 1985 graduate and retired veteran who served in several branches of the military.
The program will also include a slideshow honoring those who have served and are currently serving. Photos for the slideshow can also be submitted to Megan Cowan by emailing her at megan.cowan@columbianaschools.org. Pictures can also be sent to school with a student to be scanned. Pictures will be returned to students. Pictures of veterans, even if they cannot make it to the ceremony, can be submitted. Photos of a military member in uniform are preferred, but any picture of the veteran will be accepted. Pictures can be color or black and white, and any size up to 8 x 10. When submitting pictures, please list the first and last name of the veteran, branch of service, years of service or military campaign, and the student(s) or staff related to the veteran.
