The students will be planning and implementing a Veterans Day Breakfast & Ceremony to be held on a school day prior to the Veterans Day Observance. Students will begin by finding the day of the event, requesting the gym for the night before and the morning of the event, and sending out individual invitations to the local veterans from an ongoing Google Sheets form. Students will work in classes and on committees to create a menu, develop the budget, develop a program for the ceremony, invite guest speakers, and begin advertising & seeking donations from local businesses. Students will apply for a job to do on the day of the project (Kitchen, Wait Staff, Floater, Registration, Welcome, Parking Attendants, Media, Seating & Cleanup) through a Google Form or paper application. Students are also responsible for calling local media (radio, newspaper, news stations) to ask about promoting the event. Each student is responsible to follow up on all calls they have made. Students will be responsible for introducing guest speakers and performances of the band/chorus.

Challenges-High amount of planning, limited planning time with Officers in one setting, limited budget, working to find addresses for local veterans.

Purpose-The purpose of this event is to provide free breakfast and student-led ceremony to show our local veterans and their family members the utmost respect they deserve for their sacrifice and service.
