First photos of the sea turtles hatchling from the sponsored nest in El Salvador. The nest with 72 eggs was saved from an olive ridley sea turtle on January 14, 2012. The students received the news that their sea turtles had hatched on March 4, 2012.

The nest was sponsored, thanks to the efforts of the students who held a recycling drive to get "Cash for Trash." The students raised funds by recycling plastic bags, juice bags, toothbrushes and cell phones through Terracycle's free recycling programs.
