Summary
The committee accepted $3,019 raised by the Hingham High School Green Team to start a composting program and $108 from local Derby Street businesses; the Green Team’s program will collect food waste at the high school for use in student planting projects.
The Hingham School Committee accepted two donations April 13 to support student programs, including a $3,019 gift to establish a composting program at Hingham High School.
Ayesha reported the funds were raised by the Hingham High School Green Team through the district’s antique fair and that a local composting service will return $10 per subscribed resident to the school's program. The committee voted to accept $3,019 to fund the program for the remainder of fiscal 2026 and for fiscal 2027.
Separately, the committee accepted $108 in donations from WSM Hingham Properties LLC (Derby Street shops) that are distributed annually to schools in the area.
Committee members praised the students’ fundraising efforts and asked no follow‑up questions; the donations will be processed through normal district finance procedures.
