Savannah Classical Academy (SCA) will host a Veterans Day Program from 8:30-9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 11 in the school’s gymnasium, located at 705 E. Anderson St., Savannah. The event will honor the men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces and highlight student performances and projects inspired by their service.

The program will feature guest speakers, musical performances by SCA’s Upper School Strings Ensemble and Lower School Choirs, and a display of student artwork dedicated to honoring veterans. In addition, winners of the school’s Veteran Day Essay Competition will be recognized and will share their award-winning essays during the program. Following the ceremony, a reception serving snacks will be held for all guests. As part of SCA’s efforts to recognize Veterans Day, students have raised funds to donate to Disabled American Veterans (DAV). DAV helps veterans of every generation address their challenges and achieve personal victories, great and small, to better thrive in civilian life.

“Veterans Day provides an important opportunity for our students to reflect on the sacrifices made by the brave individuals who have defended our freedoms,” said Barry Lollis, CEO of Savannah Classical Academy. “We are proud to host this annual event which allows our students to express their gratitude through art, music, and words while connecting with the veterans in our community.”

SCA welcomes veterans, families, and community members to attend this special celebration.
