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.

* On March 13, 1925, "DAR, Oh How We Love You" (sung to the tune of "Battle Hymn of the Republic") was sung for the first time for daughters arriving for the final day of the Alabama State Conference and has been sung at Dedication Day and other school functions where DAR members are in attendance ever since. The children call it "The DAR Song".
