Want to Have Your Own KDS Football Helmet?
Okay, so it wouldn't actually be
your helmet, but you can have your name on one!
The lifespan of a football helmet is 10 years, and the KDS DAR Patriots teams need new ones. The cost of each helmet is $125, and approximately 30 are needed. Sponsors are needed to adopt helmets, and the sponsors will have their name placed on the lower back portion of a helmet.
So, when the team takes the field this fall, you could be on the field with the Patriots! For more information on how to adopt a helmet, call 256-728-4236 or email hgreen@nehp.net.

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. |
