Key Club, students and community honored veterans as Lansdale ceremony moved indoors
Summary
Speakers described the Lansdale Memorial Day parade being canceled due to weather and the ceremony moved indoors to Pendale; North Penn High School Key Club continued its annual memorial tribute to graduates who died in service.
Hosts opened the May 26 Superintendent Live by noting the recent Memorial Day observance in Lansdale, which organizers moved indoors because of weather concerns.
"It's really about honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice," Bob said, describing musical tributes, a trumpet solo playing taps and students laying roses at the memorial. He and Dr. Bower highlighted North Penn High School Key Club's memorial tradition dating to 1994 and named Linda Law as the club adviser who coordinates the reading of names and poems.
Speakers said the indoor move was made for safety — to avoid wet stages and slips among older veterans — and that the ceremony included community chorus and band performances. They also recounted a lighthearted moment when two dogs wandered into the indoor ceremony and Lansdale police, led by Chief Develin, escorted them out without interrupting the program.
Speakers thanked volunteers, advisers and students for the ceremony. The segment closed with hosts encouraging community members to attend future remembrance events and to visit the memorial on the campus noted during the broadcast.
The program did not record formal board action related to the ceremony during the session.
