In a delightful display of community engagement, the Milton Hershey School (MHS) is set to bring a cool respite to the hot summer days of Front Royal families. The Pennsylvania-based residential school has partnered with local favorite C&C Frozen Treats to dish out free ice cream this Saturday, July 15, from noon to 5 p.m. The initiative is part of the school’s celebration of National Ice Cream Weekend and serves as a sweet reminder of the opportunities it offers to its students.

The star of the day will be the specially concocted “Opportunity Ice Cream.” As the name suggests, it embodies the ethos of the Milton Hershey School – a place where limitless opportunities await students. This unique flavor features a delightful mix of Hershey’s candies swirled into the creamy, homemade ice cream that C&C is famous for. Guests are invited to get up to two free scoops, courtesy of MHS, allowing everyone to partake in the celebration.

Located in Hershey, Pennsylvania, MHS offers a cost-free quality education to students from pre-K through 12th grade. Beyond academics, students at MHS also gain access to a plethora of sports, clubs, and other extracurricular activities. Furthermore, the school’s Career and Technical Education program provides a platform for students to explore future careers under the guidance of dedicated and caring staff.

The event aims not only to celebrate National Ice Cream Weekend but also to raise awareness about MHS’s services in the wider Front Royal community. Attendees will be able to enjoy the ice cream and, at the same time, discover how a child in their life could greatly benefit from the many opportunities offered by Milton Hershey School.

So, this Saturday, whether you’re a family looking for a refreshing weekend activity, a lover of delectable ice cream flavors, or a parent seeking educational opportunities for your child, C&C Frozen Treats at 409 East Main Street, Front Royal, VA, is the place to be.
