Etta Loves Work Day

In addition to pointing young minds toward college, we teach them how to do real work. Twice a year we take a whole day to catch up on chores around campus and on the farm. The fall day is dedicated to Jean Hinton Rosner, daughter of founder, Carmelita Hinton. Jean was a big believer in the value of work, as was her mom. Plant Manager Mark Grieco got us fired up at our 8:15 assembly for a full day of painting, raking, pruning, washing, and so forth. Here's a video of Mark's motivational song and a slide show of the day:
