Holidays At MHS
Throughout November and December, Milton Hershey School is filled with holiday magic. This year, MHS is bringing our community together safely through student home contests, caroling nights, and festive gifts for one and all. MHS students involved with the Student Government Association played an integral role in planning all of the holiday surprises.
12 Days of Christmas Celebration
The holiday season has always been a special time for the MHS family. This year, MHS made the holidays even merrier with a “12 Days of Christmas” celebration presented by President Pete Gurt ’85 and his wife, Jane.
Student Home and TL Holiday Decorating Contest
Student homes and Transitional Living (TL) buildings participated in a holiday decorating contest. The winners will receive a hot chocolate bar and cookies from MHS Food Services when they return from Christmas Break.
