Dental Digest
a-guide-on-choosing-the-right-orthodontics-for-your-kids.jpg

We all look forward to summertime. School’s out and families can enjoy a more relaxed schedule with time to catch up on play and a few important appointments without the stress of navigating the attendance office. While you are all visiting the dentist for cleanings to keep your smiles bright, don’t forget to request an orthodontia exam for your elementary schoolers along with their regular oral care. 

Student Spotlight

Johnson High School senior Madison Kirschbaum has been named JHS Student Volunteer of the Year – an honor that also qualifies her for consideration for the NEISD designation. Participants include “high school students who have contributed to the community through volunteer activities and/or community service,” according to the district. 

Travel Time

We’ve all been there. You’re in a gift shop at the end of your trip, wondering if you really need another magnet. Or keychain. Or that slightly-too-small T-shirt you’ll probably wear once, maybe to bed. But souvenirs can be so much more than a “look what I brought back” moment. The right ones become memory-keepers, truly meaningful reminders of the places you’ve been and the moments that mattered.

Pet Tip

This year it seems like San Antonio jumped straight into summer. Hot temperatures and high humidity combine to make all members of the family – human and canine alike –uncomfortable. While beads of perspiration rolling down your body might make you feel grubby, you have an advantage over Fido – dogs aren’t able to sweat. This means they are even more susceptible to overheating than their pup parents. Some breeds, especially those with squished noses like bulldogs and Shih Tzus, are especially affected by heat.

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.
