Cover Story
Viva Fiesta! Every April we don our brightest duds, shine our medals and feast on special food and drinks that come around only once a year. But sometimes the crazy crowds can feel like a little too much. Right size your festivities this year at Taste of the Northside. The elevated event April 18 limits the number of entrants, so you can celebrate in style.
Dental Digest
Do you remember the tagline for the fruity breakfast cereal – “Silly Rabbit, Trix are for Kids!” That same slogan could apply to the Invisalign tooth-straightening system and children. While Invisalign was initially considered an adult application to correct crooked teeth or a misaligned bite, it’s a myth that Invisalign is only for adults.
Student Spotlight
This Johnson High School senior student’s musical ability can best be described as talent in triplicate. Charles Serrano leads the JHS marching band as the Head Drum Major, was selected to sing tenor at the All-State choir two years in a row, and has played trumpet in Johnson’s top Jazz Band, varsity orchestra and wind ensemble for the past four years.
Pet Tip
Nothing says San Antonio more than our Fiesta traditions — pins, crowns, costumes and “Show Us Your Shoes!” Dog lovers and pet pals alike can kick off the season this year with their own version of Fiesta royalty, canine style. You can be part of the crowning of pups El Ray Fido and his royal court at 10 a.m., on April 20 at the dog park/restaurant Hops N Hounds.
Medical Minute
The eclipse is coming April 8. San Antonio and the surrounding area will witness almost total darkness in the middle of the day for the first time since 1397! You’ll want to view this event, but don’t be fooled — despite its apparent disappearance, the sun is still not safe to look at with unprotected eyes.

Wish List
Sometimes San Antonio’s city programs seem far away and of little impact or interest in Stone Oak. District 9’s Councilman John Courage wanted to find a way to engage the community and bring dollars to benefit his district directly. In 2018 he launched the first participatory budget, soliciting feedback from District 9 constituents about projects that would make a difference to its residents.

New Years Baby
While most of us were blowing horns or making a toast at 12 as the year advanced to 2023, Lauren Jacks was celebrating in a more memorable way. She ushered in the New Year with the delivery of her daughter, Avery, who arrived at two seconds past midnight at Stone Oak’s North Central Baptist Hospital.
Bank of America
