2012 Snowflake Campaign a Huge Success
The "snowflakes" that began in late November continued to fall into the New Year to make the KDS Snowflake Holiday Giving Campaign a huge success.
Our donors' generosity was overwhelming as we had a "flurry" around the Christmas holiday. The snowflake donation cards, featuring the names of devoted KDS friends and those they wished to honor or memorialize, adorned the walls of the lobby and hallway of the Samsa Administration Building throughout the holiday season.

If you have a "Did You Know?" article about KDS School, the Grant community, or the state of Alabama that you would like to share with readers of our monthly newsletter, submit it to Heather Green at hgreen@nehp.net. If you have pictures in a digital format that relate to the article, submit them along with the article. Many of our readers are new to the area and do not know the wonderful, rich history of KDS School and the Town of Grant. I am sure they will be enlightened with something that you know and take for granted that everyone else knows too. |
