Sit at the center table for the entirety of lunch and make sure that people do not put non-compostable materials (plastics, styrofoam, paper, etc.) in the Composting Bin. We send it to a facility so we have to be very careful about what we’re putting in there.
If you are monitoring during fourth lunch, take the Composting Bin back outside through the door near the back of the vending machine in the corner of the cafeteria.
Boom. Volunteer hours. Giving back to the environment.
All food that people buy during lunches can be composted! Our advisor is Mrs. Abraham (habraham@hopkinton.k12.ma.us). If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me at apappalardo@hillers.org

Ambassador Girl Scout Troop 68243
TAKING ACTION FOR MENTAL HEALTH
Hello! We’re Ambassador Girl Scout Troop 68243! Being students at Hopkinton High School as well as teenagers, we’ve noticed that when it comes to mental health, body image and managing stress, teens-–and people in general, feel they are not heard. In order to create a safe community, issues like these must be talked about, and resources must be supplied and easily accessible to help navigate these challenges.
Before we graduate, we are looking to restock our “Little Free Library” at the Hopkinton Center for the Arts in their Mindfulness Garden with books for all ages about healthy relationships, self-esteem, mental health, body positivity, self-help and mindfulness. On May 1st, the start of Mental Health Awareness month, we will also launch our newly revised Bee-YOU-tiful website to include information about our library, our books, and the different mental health resources here in Hopkinton. Stay tuned!
HOW CAN YOU HELP? In an effort to fill our Little Library and provide necessary resources for individuals and the community, we are collecting donations through April 26th!
Here is a QR code to our Amazon Wish List, which reflects the recommendations of many of our Hopkinton Public School’s administrators, counselors, and health teachers as well as many mental health professionals in our Hopkinton community. They are books for all age groups that are relevant to our mission. When ordering, please select Alyssa Thompson, our Girl Scout Leader, for the shipping address.
Please feel free to share about our project! The more people who know, the more people who can help!
If you have any questions just email us here @: hopgstroop68243@gmail.com
