The Van Wert School at the Goedde is honored to invite all veterans in the community to its second annual “Breakfast with a Vet” at 9 a.m. this Wednesday, October 15.

Held in the Goedde gymnasium, the event will offer a warm, complimentary breakfast for the nation’s heroes, served alongside students eager to connect, learn, and express their gratitude.

“Our goal is to create a space where students can learn firsthand from the experiences of veterans,” said Rhonda Cunningham, Director of Van Wert School at the Goedde. “It’s a unique opportunity to build intergenerational connections, promote respect, and foster a deeper understanding of the sacrifices made for our country.”

No RSVP is required. All veterans are welcome, just bring your appetite and your stories.

Van Wert City Schools thanked event sponsors, United Way of Van Wert County and Walmart for helping make this meaningful event possible.
