  Snowflake Holiday Giving Campaign
           
Snow is in the forecast once again for the Gunter Mountain community thanks to the friends and supporters of the Kate Duncan Smith DAR School.  As the holidays approach and 2014 winds to a close, we ask that you remember KDS in your year-end giving so that we may provide a Christmas to remember for Gunter Mountain families in need.
  2014 Veterans' Day Celebrations Held at KDS
           

Veterans Day is a time to remember those who have sacrificed so much to protect our country and our freedoms. KDS students, faculty, and staff as well as the Gunter Mountain Chapter, DAR and the Gunter Mountain Society, C.A.R., took time out to honor local military veterans and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country's freedom.

 Saluting U.S. Military Veterans at KDS
           
Since the birth of our Nation, American patriots have stepped forward to serve our country and defend our way of life. With honor and distinction, generations of servicemen and women have taken up arms to win our independence, preserve our Union, and secure our freedom. On Veterans Day, we salute the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen who have rendered the highest service any American can offer and we are reminded of our solemn obligation: to serve our veterans as well as they have served us.
 KDS Elementary Celebrates Red Ribbon Week
           

Red Ribbon week is celebrated each year at schools and communities across the United States.  It began as a memorial week to honor Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena in 1985.  It has grown into a movement to encourage and educate children about the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle that does not include the use of illegal drugs. KDS Elementary students celebrated Red Ribbon Week during the week of October 27th through the 31st with educational and fun activities.

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.
