DAR Donation to Acorn Students In September 2023, the Polk County Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution organization distributed pocket guide copies of the U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence to students at Acorn Public Schools. The pocket guides are a valuable resource to enhance research for students learning about our nation’s founding documents and beliefs. The Daughters of the American Revolution organization was founded in 1890 with the mission of promoting historic preservation, education and patriotism. These timeless, overarching principles keep the DAR strong and vitally relevant in this ever-changing world. Acorn Schools would like to extend our appreciation to the Polk County DAR Chapter organization for providing the donation to our students and history classes!
