Students from St Ignatius School KG-Year 6 Kindergarten
class held a ‘Dress in Blue’ day to raise money for the Cayman Blue Iguana
Recovery Programme.
Parents of children were asked to pay $2 each to allow
their children to be dressed in blue civilian clothes for the day instead of
their regular school uniform.
In total over $500 was raised to sponsor a blue
iguana, in the Cayman Islands Blue Recovery programme.
“We have used the project to learn more about
conservation, and teach the children to be more aware of their environment,”
teacher Margaret Gibson said.
“Later on we will be having a competition to name the
iguana we have sponsored, and we will be getting plenty of information on
it, so that we will be finding out about things the children can do to help
Blue Iguanas live back in the wild,” she added.
