School committee accepts $7,344 playground donation from South School PTO and artwork donation to Hingham High
Summary
The committee accepted a $7,344 donation from the South School PTO to install new basketball hoops and remove old equipment, and accepted an artistic plaque donation for Hingham High from an out‑of‑state artist.
The Hingham School Committee unanimously accepted a $7,344 donation from the South School PTO to purchase and install new basketball hoops and to pay for hauling away the old equipment. The administration said the PTO also offered to provide installation assistance to alleviate strain on the district’s maintenance staff, which is occupied with other summer projects.
Separately, the committee accepted an art donation to Hingham High School from an artist in Newport, Rhode Island (listed in the packet as Deborah Lee Ayacobache; committee members noted the name pronunciation may be uncertain). The administration said it seeks to acknowledge all donors, large and small, and provided both donation items in the committee packet.
A committee member moved and another seconded each acceptance; both motions passed on voice votes.
