  Alabama Flags Added to KDS
Campus Flag Poles
           

 Through a generous donation, Alabama State Flags were added to all KDS campus flag poles.  These flags were added in an effort to not only recognize the state in which KDS is located, but also to honor the legacy of Alabama Daughters' support for the school.

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.
