For Kids

Donate to Public Schools

The LSUHSC/New Orleans Recovery School District Science Partnership 2010 Supply Drive is now collecting donations at several locations around campus, including both the Main Campus and Dental Libraries. Any types of school supplies are accepted, but paper, crayons, notebooks, markers and pencils are especially appreciated.

This annual project is sponsored by the School of Graduate Studies. Supplies can be donated today through Friday, September 10th.

Halloween

Just a friendly reminder that the Libraries will be open this weekend. The Isché Library will be open from 9:30-6 on Saturday & from 12-12 on Sunday. The Dental Library is open from 1:30-10 on Sunday.

To help you and your family stay safe this Halloween, here are Tips from the Centers for Disease Control, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Diabetes Association. Enjoy!

Listen to your buds

Catch the sounds in ‘Bump and Hustle’ and keep the music down!

A 2006 ASHA survey (that’s the American Speech and Hearing Association) indicated that 40% percent of students set their music players’ volumes too loud. In fact, a recent article in the Journal of Pediatrics found that most adolescents are aware that they listen to their music too loud, and (in the tradition of adolescents everywhere) really don’t care.

This online game from ASHA educates kids about the potential risk of hearing loss from unsafe usage of personal audio technology. The little buds even look like the headphones of an ipod. Cute!
