"I Pledge is a program that The Keeter Center has been dedicated to participating in for many years,” said Mollie Crawford, director of sales and marketing at The Keeter Center. “We value patriotic education at College of the Ozarks, and this is one way we like to show appreciation to young children for learning the Pledge of Allegiance and reciting it by memory. Our students at The Keeter Center enjoy interacting with children and serving them a scoop of complimentary ice cream which is made fresh from milk from our campus dairy. We are honored to see little ones show their appreciation for our country, and to have the opportunity to serve our community in this way."
