We’re proud to continue our partnership with Edgewood ISD and Coach Ben Benavidez to support healthier students, families, and schools! 💚

A special thank you to the Harvey E. Najim Charitable Foundation for supporting SAHRC for the second consecutive year, helping provide Edgewood ISD with access to the TEA-approved Bienestar/NEEMA Coordinated School Health Program and incentive funding that goes directly back to the district.

Healthier schools. Stronger communities. 🌱

Join us for an engaging Food Horizons Panel Discussion as local leaders, educators, researchers, and youth advocates explore how schools can shape lifelong nutrition and well-being.

This conversation will dive into important questions like:
🥗 When do lifelong food habits begin?
🌮 How can school nutrition programs better reflect San Antonio’s rich cultural food traditions?
💡 What one change could make the biggest difference for the health of San Antonio’s children?

Our very own Chrystal Johnson, Director of Operations at the Social and Health Research Center (SAHRC), will join fellow panelists to discuss how research can guide equitable, community-centered solutions that improve children’s health outcomes.
