From June 23 to June 28, a delegation from KDS DAR School traveled to Washington, D.C., to participate in the 135th Continental Congress of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Representing the school during this exciting week were Executive Director Heather Green, Development Director Jason Hodges, Board Chair Melvina Phillips, alumna Lauren Buchanan, and student representatives Gillian Head and Clint Carter.
In addition to managing the school’s booth and selling KDS merchandise, the group connected with supporters at a number of events and social gatherings included the Opening Night Ceremonies, the Mississippi and Alabama Southern Sunrise Breakfast, the California Congressional Tea, the Texas Tea, the Michigan Brunch, the Education Luncheon, the Junior Membership Luncheon, and the Units Overseas Committee Luncheon and Bazaar.
Between official duties, the student representatives also made the most of their time in our Nation's capital by exploring its rich history. They took in the sights at several iconic landmarks and museums, including the National Archives, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and the Smithsonian Museum of American History.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, our student representatives were unable to deliver their remarks during the Education Luncheon, so those are being shared here.
