Typical day? Not for school nurses
ASD Connect Banner
A school nurse is more than a sympathetic ear and dispenser of medications. We visit with school nurses and learn that, for them, there is no such thing as a "typical day." Learn how two school nurses helped save two different lives, both in the same week of September.
Student success: Energy saving kit program
  ASD and the Loussac Library recently launched a free energy saving kit program. The program is the brainchild of South High School student Garrison Wilts, who developed the program for his Eagle Scout candidacy. The program places two Kill-A-Watt meters in each district middle school and high school library and seven meters in the Loussac Library. The meters are available for public check-out and are designed to help people determine how much energy is being used by appliances and electronics in their house, including the "phantom" energy used when a cell phone charger is plugged in but not charging a device. The meters were donated by the Norcross Wildlife Foundation and the South Anchorage Home Depot.

The program is proving so popular that, as of early October, Loussac Library had a 73-person waiting list for the meters.

For more information, visit your local middle or high school, or call Loussac Library at 343-2975.
