The Tidioute Community Charter School senior class will host its fifth annual Veterans Day assembly on Wednesday at 9 a.m.
The public ceremony, organized under the leadership of social studies teacher Joni Schettler, will take place at the school and is open to all community members.
Local veterans are encouraged to attend the ceremony and stay afterward for coffee and doughnuts. The post-assembly reception offers a unique opportunity for veterans to connect and share experiences with members of the senior class.
The assembly is entirely student-led, with seniors managing everything from designing promotional flyers and event programs to delivering speeches during the ceremony.
As part of the presentation, students will share original poetry and present a historical overview of Veterans Day. Seniors are also responsible for coordinating the guest speakers, focusing on personal community connections.
"Part of their planning is to invite a veteran to speak at the event. I always like them to select a speaker who they know personally or have a connection to," shared Schettler.
Musical performances by the school band and choir will highlight the ceremony, alongside readings from the winners of a veteran poem contest. The traditional flag ceremony will be conducted by youth from the Tionesta Boy Scout and Cub Scout packs, led by their scoutmaster, who is a veteran.
