TerraCycle Include USA
The HK Project Scholarship Program awards a high school senior from Maplewood or South Orange a $5,000 college scholarship. The HK Project has named its fifth scholarship recipient: recent Columbia High School graduate Rachel O'Keefe. O'Keefe, who has lived in South Orange her entire life, is headed to the University of Rhode Island, where the incoming freshman reportedly plans to major in environmental science and management and to minor in film. At CHS, she was president of the environmental club, served on the Green Team, helped found the school's TerraCycle program, worked on obtaining a grant for a school composter and helped the school get a new water fountain to reduce the number of plastic water bottles being used.
