Texas DAR Provides Electronic Marquee Sign
A much anticipated event on Friday was the dedication of the new Texas Electronic Marquee Sign. The sign fits within the existing stonework of the old sign, combining traditional, native building materials and the latest in wireless LED technology. This sign will not only enhance school involvement among parents and guardians of KDS students, but it will also increase community awareness of the various events which take place on this campus.

Middle School Patriots Football Team
Goes Undefeated!!!
The KDS DAR Middle School Football Team just completed a very exciting season, finishing with an undefeated record of 8 - 0. KDS started their football program in 2005 with a JV and then in 2006 with a full varsity team. This is quite an accomplishment for a school that has only had a football program for 10 years. It has been rumored that this is the only team we have in any sport to complete a season going undefeated.

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. |
