Chocolate Blessings to Students and Staff

A warm (melted chocolate) thank you to the students and staff at Milton Hershey School.

On Friday, I spent the day on their beautiful campus, signing books, meeting with students, and sharing the research and writing process for their two centennial books. It truly was an honor to celebrate their centennial with them. Thank you for asking me to write these books. Thank you for welcoming me into your hearts and home.

For those little oak trees at the elementary school, remember to plant your roots, reach for the stars, and grow to be mighty oaks. I know you can do it. It's now your turn to share The Growing Story of Milton Hershey School with family and friends.

For the "quiet" middle-school students up on the hill, ride that roller coaster with gusto, and scream like you mean it. (I have no doubt that everyone will hear you and know the Hershey spirit that lives within you.) It's your turn to write the second part to Diary of a Milt. I hope to one day open my mailbox and find a signed copy of your book waiting for me.

I will remember this day with warm memories.

With HERSHEY Hugs,
Carol
