The 10 Schools participating in the CIBC FirstCaribbean International Bank’s Students Taking Environmental Preservation Seriously (STEPS) project, are now in a better position to either start or continue their project.
The schools were each given a cheque of $400 on Wednesday which will go towards work on their individual project.
Kim Simon-Gardier, the bank’s Client Services Officer in presenting the cheques, said that the bank was pleased to participate in such an activity which will help to sustain the environment.
She indicated that the judging panel will make periodic visits to the schools and an overall winner will be announced towards the end of the school year.
The schools were again reminded of some of the activities that can be undertaken under the project. These include school gardening, beautification of school surroundings, a school magazine, debates on topics dealing with the environment, creating craft items out of waste material, among others.
The principals all thanked CIBC FirstCaribbean Bank for its initiative and said that the money now given is going to assist the schools in their projects.
Most of the schools disclosed that they had already started implementing activities linked to the environment.
The ten primary schools participating are St. Luke’s, Dos Dane, Laudat, Morne Jaune, Campbell, Paix Bouche, Morne Prosper, San Sauveur, Atkinson and Thibaud. The winning School will get a prize of $4,000. CIBC FirstCaribbean Bank is hoping to make this an annual competition.
The STEPS project was launched on January 25, 2013
