5. Trash Hunger @
Hilsman Middle School
 The Hilsman Science & Energy Team is an after-school group that
works to educate others about the conservation of resources. Many
Science & Energy Team members are also Green Team members.
 Non-traditional waste items are collected and sold to recyclers.

Food Bank of Northeast Georgia and UNICEF. This campaign is our
school’s Trash Hunger Campaign.
