On Sunday, Dec. 15, 2019, 209 retired employees of Milton Hershey School were recognized at the annual Retirees’ Holiday Luncheon at Hershey Lodge. It was a time to come together around the holidays, to honor the school’s 110 years of history, and to celebrate many golden moments among students, alumni, and staff.
