Apollo High School will hold its annual Veterans Day breakfast and ceremony on Nov. 11 in Owensboro, according to an announcement from Apollo High School.
The school said breakfast for veterans and one guest, accompanied by an Apollo student or staff member, will begin at 7:45 a.m. in the Auxiliary Gym. The school’s cafeteria staff plans to serve biscuits, gravy, scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage, with coffee, milk, juice and water available, according to the announcement.
The ceremony will begin at 8:30 a.m. in the Main Gym, where Apollo faculty, staff and students will gather to honor veterans, the school said. The program is scheduled to include performances by the band, orchestra and choir, as well as JROTC cadets, a guest speaker and a presentation by a Purple Star School representative. The school said veterans will receive a keepsake.
Apollo said students, faculty and staff with a veteran in their family are eligible to attend, and a registration form is required even for veterans who have attended in past years. Completed forms are due to the school between Oct. 19 and Oct. 30. The announcement said previously submitted veteran photos do not need to be sent again.
