SAVE THE DATE DERBY & DINE 5 - 2 - 14 FUNDRAISER Kirkwood School District Foundation

It's that time of year again, the Kirkwood School District Foundation is sponsoring this year's fundraiser May 2nd, A Night at the Races, DERBY & DINE.  Sounds like fun will be had once more at Greenbriar Country Club, 6:30 to 10:00 PM.  Don't be left at the gate, seating is limited so says the card. With Derby attire recommended, there will be simulated horse races, raffle, live auction, photo booth and a best hat contest! $75 per ticket with tables available with some chips added in at the higher sponsor levels.  Sounds like fun to me!

KIRKWOOD SCHOOL DISTRICT CELEBRATING 150TH ANNIVERSARY!!

Who realized that our beloved School District is 150 years old???  Here is an announcement I received this past fall and only recently printed out!!!  Talk about being behind!  Unfortunately the planning meetings listed are all past, but one can call our community relations office, the old Alumni Office, at 314 213 6123 for more information on the sesquicentennial plans.  What fun!  Greentree Festival this September will probably be a fun place to visit, I'll bet the School District will be well represented.  The school district was formed when the Civil War ended!!! Amazing, but also, we KHS65s probably know that because we know too well that in our graduating year it was 100!  If we can remember that far back!

"We will begin celebrating the District's 150th anniversary during the 2014-15 school year.  Preparations for the celebration are underway.

There are a number of ways to be part of the celebration:

*Visit the District's tent at Greentree Festival [last September but likely this fall too.]

*Share your historic photos with us.  To upload your favorite KSD photos, visit: 
http://tinyurl.com/Kwood150 or email them to kwood150@dropevent.com.  Please add a description.

*Become part of our sesquicentennial planning committee..[.meetings were finished 3/12/14, but I'd bet one could still volunteer!]

All are welcome to be part of the celebration.  For questions contact community relations at 314 213 6123."
