Marriage Week
Strong families start with strong marriages. Brad Wilcox (Professor of Sociology at the University of Virginia and Director of the National Marriage Project) wrote in his book, Get Married, that "family-first" marriages characterized by frequent date nights contribute to happier marriages, which in turn benefit children through greater family stability.
Dental Digest
The old adage rings true – it’s better to give than receive. And the professionals at 7to7 Dental & Orthodontics agree and literally “put the money where the mouth is.” While they strive all year to make dental care affordable and accessible for families across the San Antonio area at their now 11 offices, for the past 12 years the practice also dedicated an entire day to providing free dental care to adults.
Travel Time
When we think of romantic travel, the same destinations often pop into our heads—Paris cafés, overwater bungalows, sunset gondola rides. Gorgeous? Absolutely. But romance doesn’t actually live on a map. It shows up in the way you travel, the little choices you make, and the moments you share along the way.
Student Spotlight
It was the role she was born to play. Johnson High School senior Kendall White could not believe her good fortune when the 2026 spring musical was announced. She had been “singing the songs from Legally Blonde since middle school” and hoped she’d be perfect for the lead character, Elle Woods. Kendall spent last summer perfecting her vocal and acting skills, and when she auditioned in October – she nailed it! You might have seen her starring in the JHS show last month, complete with a live dog playing her sidekick Bruiser.
Pet Tip
February is a month filled with reminders about love: flowers, cards, heartfelt gestures. Love doesn’t only count between humans. Pet parents share a deep bond with their furry family members. What else would motivate them to overlook the inevitable accidents and mischief? Along with love comes responsibility. Although loving pup parents ensure Fido is well cared for when they must be absent, they may worry about his feelings.

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.
Bank of America
