Student Spotlight
Path to Green – the phrase describes the foot-on-the-gas, obstacle-overcoming, can-do attitude of Ronald Reagan High School senior Michael Sauder. He can’t wait to explore anything hands on, practical and in-person. Currently, he’s participating in Reagan’s Clinical 2 health career class, which entails spending Monday and Wednesday mornings not sitting in a school classroom but shadowing health care personnel at several Stone Oak hospitals and clinics.
Dental Digest
You have a cavity. No one likes to hear those words. And almost as bad is the ominous news that your dentist is “watching a tooth.” While applying fluoride to the teeth could make them stronger before a cavity began to develop, once the enamel had been breached, there was little to be done – just wait until the weak spot was deep enough to require a filling. But recently, a new product called Curodont has been introduced in the United States to treat early tooth decay and regenerate tooth enamel.
Pet Tip
Dogs, like people, thrive when their needs are met. A balanced diet and physical activity go a long way toward contributing to a healthy life (and curb destructive behavior). Many experts make dog care advice sound simple: just exercise your pup. Long walks. Lots of play. Run them until they are tired. Physical exercise does play an important role in keeping dogs healthy. It supports muscles, joints, and overall conditioning when done thoughtfully.

She had spent the past month sharing the development of incubating ducklings over the school’s live-streamed announcements. Now her sons begged to bring the adorable balls of fluff home for the weekend.

What are you doing for Valentine’s Day? You can’t miss it; stores have been festooned with pink and red hearts since the Christmas decorations came down. American culture prioritizes making the perfect romantic gesture to show your partner how special they are. A miscalculation can cause unintended consequences.
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.
