HONORING THOSE WHO SERVED. REMEMBERING THOSE WHO SACRIFICED. 🇺🇸

Today, the Town of Kentland pauses to honor the brave men and women who have served our country and defended the freedoms we have.

These photos of our new war memorial serve as a beautiful reminder that freedom is never free. Behind every branch of service and every generation is a story of courage, sacrifice, and love of our country.

To our veterans, those currently serving, and the families who stand beside them: Thank you. Your service, dedication, and sacrifices will never be forgotten.

May we always remember those who served, honor those who continue to serve, and teach future generations the importance of the freedoms we enjoy.

Happy Veterans Day from the Town of Kentland!

We encourage everyone to take a moment today to visit our new war memorial, reflect on the sacrifices made for our freedom, and remember the local heroes whose service helped shape our nation's story.

Do you have a veteran in your family? Share their name or story in the comments so we can help honor them today. ⬇️

Little Rebels Are Growing at South Newton!

Something special is happening at South Newton High School. Little Rebel Preschool opened its doors this fall, and our youngest Rebels are thriving!

Little Rebel is a lab-school preschool, which means South Newton high schoolers exploring careers in education work right alongside our preschoolers every day as trained teaching assistants. While the little ones learn letters, numbers, and how to be a good friend, the teens are learning what it takes to be great teachers. Everybody wins!

The learning extends to the kitchen. Student cooks in South Newton’s hospitality pathway prepare two snacks and a hot lunch each day from a menu planned around federal child nutrition standards.

Led by Mrs. Katie Pitman, a 19-year teaching veteran, with preschool assistant Miss Maddie Bohlinger, the classroom uses a hands-on, play-based curriculum aligned to the Indiana Pre-K Standards.

Ages 3–5 (must be 3 by Aug. 31; potty-trained)
Monday–Friday, 7:15 a.m.–4:00 p.m., following the South Newton calendar
25/day(125/week), snacks and lunch included

5 seats open now!

THROWBACK THURSDAY

Remember Cochrane's Shell Station & Cafe?

This wasn't just your ordinary gas station!

Cochrane's had a little bit of everything. Along with being a Shell station, they sold Buick cars, had a repair shop in the back, AND operated a cafe where meals were served!

Talk about a one-stop shop!

Places like this were more than just businesses. They were part of everyday life in our community and hold memories of a time long past, when life looked a little different.

We want to hear from you!

Do you remember Cochrane's Shell Station & Cafe? Did you ever stop in for a meal, have your car worked on, or remember someone who worked there?

Share your memories in the comments! Let's take a trip down memory lane together.

Small town. Big history. That's Kentland!
