During the holiday season, we often reflect on the passing year and think fondly of the many blessings in our lives. At KDS we are thankful for our school family of students, faculty, and staff. We are also thankful that we are citizens of this great country and are a part of the Kate Duncan Smith DAR School where the students learn about the sacrifices of our forefathers, what it means to be a patriotic citizen, and are free to worship when and where we choose. And we are thankful for all our school's generous donors and friends!
