Today we mourn the loss of an American icon, a beloved philanthropist and a proud 4-H alumna, Dolly Parton. Her extraordinary life was defined not only by her incredible talent, but by her unwavering generosity, compassion and commitment to helping others.

For generations of young people, Dolly embodied what it means to use your gifts in service of others. From her roots in 4-H to her lifelong investment in literacy, education and community, she showed us that true leadership is grounded in humility, kindness, and purpose. As Dolly once said, "storms make trees take deeper roots." 💚

A proud 4-H alumna, she reminded us that challenges can strengthen us and help us grow. That wisdom will continue to inspire young people and communities for generations to come. We extend our deepest condolences to her family, friends, and the millions whose lives she touched. Her legacy of hope, generosity, and service will live on. 🍀

Science teachers: Consider adopting a calf for your classroom this school year! Dairy farmers use a lot of science on a daily basis – from planting their crops to managing the ration (AKA food) that their cows eat. Bring these concepts to life by adopting a calf and watching her grow all year long – plus, the FREE Adopt a Cow program includes several hands-on, science-based labs to go along with your calf updates.

Enroll anytime May 1 – January 31. Enroll by September 1 to get a mailed welcome packet! ➡️ Learn more: discoverdairy.com/adopt
