Daily Notices…
Dr. Buckey wants to hear from students about how we can maximize the Hingham High School experience. Rising sophomores, we want to hear your thoughts, ideas, hopes and aspirations. Please come out this afternoon at 2:30 (Room 103) to engage in collective conversation about how we accomplish this together. Rising 9th graders, please stop by Room 103 tomorrow morning at 7:30am. We hope you will consider attending.
Hingham High School completed its excellent performance in the National History Day competition at Saturday’s Massachusetts History Day. HHS award winners included Graeme Baker, James Hamilton, Owen MacDonald, Sophia Peregrine, Riley Stocks, and Veronica Webb, who all received special prizes for their projects. Congratulations to all 15 students who represented HHS at the state competition with their outstanding work.
After vacation we will have large green compost bins in the cafeteria! Unlike normal backyard compost, they can accept ANY kind of food- even meat and cheese!!
So when throwing out your waste:
- first put bottles and cans in the recycling bin
- next discard any milk cartons and plastic in the trash bin
- then put all food and paper bags in the new compost bin
- last put your tray on the cart. Please stack your trays oriented the same way so we can fit as many as possible into the compost bins at the end of lunch!
And remember- "When in doubt, throw it out!" When you don't know what to do, it's ALWAYS better to put things in the trash instead of contaminating the recycling or compost bins. We're hoping to fill the bins every week by Wednesday, so let's all work together to reduce food waste going to a landfill and get ready to "Slash the Trash" at HHS!"
School the World will be presenting about upcoming service trips tomorrow, April 15th at 6pm in Room 131.
The next Books and Banter meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 15th in the LMC after school. Hope to see you there!
