On Tuesday, March 8th, and Friday, March 11th, UTMB DIG members Paige Hoyer (MSII), Tara Akuna (MSII), and Tim Allen (MSII) presented "Stay Shady!" to the students at Satori and Crenshaw Elementary School. This fun, interactive presentation is aimed at making kids aware that the sun can damage their skin and inform them how to protect themselves. The students gave the presentation and answered questions for 100 kids in total as well as a couple teaachers! They also helped them make UV bracelets out of beads that change color in the sun to raise awareness of sun damage and remind the kids to wear sunscreen. A special appreciation goes out to the students of both Satori and Crenshaw Elementary School for being such a great audience and to our DIG volunteers!
