Milton Hershey School (MHS) is my own high school and I am proud to be a member of the MHS community.

Now MHS is celebrating it’s 100 years!!! Happy Birthday MHS.

In celebration for the 100 years that Milton Snavely Hershey and his philanthropic efforts have shown, MHS has well known figures across the nation to represent the MHS Centennial like no Milt has ever seen before.

MHS 100 Years!!!

I want to thank Milton and Catherine Hershey for establishing the school originally for orphan boys in 1909, however today the school is open to all types of students who meet these requirements.

• Come from a family of low income, limited resources, and social need.
• Be from the ages of 4-15 years old.
• Have the ability to learn.
• Be free of serious emotional and behavioral problems that disrupt life in the classroom or the home.
• Be able to take part in the School’s program.
• Be born in the United States.

Today Whoopi, Joy, Sherri, and Elisabeth from The View, had some opinions on this hot topic!

Should teachers get money/expensive cruises/Visa® Gift Cards?

No wonder why this was a hot topic! Traditionally for many families, gifts for teachers were/are cards, candles, and edible items like candy and fruit. What happened to the good ole’ days?

Well, personally I do not approve of teachers receiving money or these expensive gifts. Honestly, a good teacher may deserve these bonuses, but the essence of Christmas should be reserved to more domestic household elements. The meaning of Christmas is from the heart, not from your wallet.

I would probably keep in contact with my teachers that have made an impact on my life and then I would, if I had the funds, give them a more expensive gift within reasonable appreciation. I am simply amazed that these teachers ask for such expensive things.  I am aware of the economic situation in the US, but tradition and integrity should supersede such commercialization that goes on during the Holiday seasons.

Joy Behar from The View ,a former teacher, comments*

Teachers are like civil servants. Much like a mail man, cannot receive money as a gift. The city/government pays them to serve the civilians of the state.

*I was so engrossed in the show that I wrote this after the discussion was finished. So, I paraphrased Joy’s statement.
