Youngest Scholars Celebrate Milton Hershey’s Birthday with Cake, Cards, and Reflection

MHS Elementary Division students recently celebrated what would have been Milton Hershey’s 168th birthday with a mix of fun, learning, and reflection.

From pre-kindergarten through fourth grade, classrooms were filled with party hats, birthday candles, and sweet treats—but also with meaningful activities that connected students to Mr. Hershey’s legacy.

Students wrote heartfelt birthday cards, journaled about how they can be a gift to their community, and explored math concepts by graphing with Hershey’s Miniatures.

The day also served as a reminder of the MHS Sacred Values. Students took time to reflect on how they can model themselves after Mr. Hershey, commit to Our Pledge, and grow into responsible, caring citizens.
