Thank you Mrs. Capka and Mrs. Jaudon for your dedication to teaching our Hedgies about our environment and ways they can help. Here Mrs. Capka and Mrs. Jaudon are being awarded for their efforts for the Clean Green 15 initiative and accepting the $1500 Grant Hillcrest earned. This wouldn’t have been possible without the efforts of our amazing teachers and our students who logged countless hours of trash collections. Way to make our environment a better place! 🌎🌱🌳🌲💐🌊🐠♻️

A note from Mrs. Capka about Clean Green 15:

Thank you for all the trash clean ups and logging the bags collected. Hillcrest Elementary won a Clean Green 15 grant that we can use toward environmental projects. You can continue to log trash clean ups, no matter how small or where at https://www.baltimorecountymd.gov/departments/environment/clean-green/clean-green-15 for consideration next school year.

Does litter bug you? Take the Clean Green 15 Litter Challenge and help make tons of difference for the environment.
