This month’s student spotlight not only represents personal accomplishment but also testifies to the value of community and family. Emily Kaman is the youngest of four children to graduate from Johnson High School. Her family has been a pillar of the Encino Park community since before she was born. Her mother, Michelle, teaches special education at Encino Park Elementary. Her father, Tony, has been a volunteer coach for McAllister Park Little League for decades.

With Northeast ISD schools starting August 17, athletes are returning to the field to prepare for their fall season. As you stock up on socks and cleats, don’t forget an essential piece of equipment – a mouthguard.
Mouthguards reduce the risk of injury from an accidental fall or hit to the face by spreading the force of a blow over a larger area and absorbing some of the shock.
Club At Sonterra
Have you heard the news? Racquet sports are good for your health! A study recently rated tennis as the top activity to extend longevity – by 10 years! And research suggests pickleball may improve symptoms of Parkinson's. Both tennis and pickleball promote social connections – another boost to mental health and overall wellness. But where to play? The Club At Sonterra is a hidden racquet sports gem located in the heart of Stone Oak.
Pet Tip
Every dog is unique. You don’t have to look far to see the difference between a Chihuahua and a Great Dane. No matter how big or small, old or young, one thing Fido and Fifi have in common is the desire for activity, engagement and companionship. If you work long hours or are away from home often with children’s activities, your pup may not be getting the exercise or attention he needs. Even an older dog or couch potato still needs interaction.

Chicken Chores
What would it look like if a pair of baby ducks had a pool party?
That’s the idea that hatched in 2023 for Dana Haby, 11-year librarian at Timberwood Park Elementary School. 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.
Victorious Valentine
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.
