Cover Story
For more than 50 years, Brighton has been providing critical services to young children with disabilities and delays. Founded in 1969 as a school by parents of children with Down Syndrome, Brighton Center has evolved into the largest non-profit in San Antonio providing pediatric therapy services to babies and toddlers, offering two inclusive early childhood education preschool centers, and special education advocacy services.
Student Spotlight
Johnson High School senior Caden Barr has dreamed of piloting a plane since childhood. But rather than prepping for a military slot or college that offers flight school, Caden is getting a jump start on his career by learning how to work on airplane engines as a certified mechanic. He’s one of the few JHS students to take advantage of NEISD’s Dual Credit partnership with St. Philip's and enroll in the Alamo Academies Aerospace Academy.
Dental Digest
It happens when you least expect it – throbbing pain in the mouth, especially when chewing. Even a sip of hot coffee or cold iced tea can set off a sharp twinge. While a dental emergency can interrupt the course of anyone’s day, it’s even worse when it’s your friend or family member visiting from out of town. Where do you turn for help?
Pet Tip
Fiesta – San Antonio’s biggest party also purposes to do good. More than 100 participating organizations will raise funds over 11 festive days to support charities that give back across the city. Just one representative of Fiesta “royalty,” El Rey Feo, has raised more than $10 million over the years to help local students pay for college expenses.
Travel Time
During the many seasons of our lives, finding that travel buddy who shares your sense of adventure and travel style can be frustrating. Whether your existing friend group is taking on new family obligations, coupling up or facing the physical limitations of a life well-lived, many people end up stuck – wanting to travel but not wanting to go it alone.

Wish List
Sometimes San Antonio’s city programs seem far away and of little impact or interest in Stone Oak.
