The Spice Girls
San Antonio Sisters are 2 Cool
by Susan Yerkes
Deb Bolner Prost has built her entire career on helping people and companies market themselves or their products. Now she’s using that expertise to market a new product of her own. For the better part of four years, Prost and her four partners in It's 2 Cool Ltd have been working on a new product they've named Cool Off―a packaged towelette saturated with botanical compounds that produce a strong cooling effect on the user's skin. They call it Cool Off. And this month they plan to roll it out in stores throughout South Texas for the first time.

Joshua's Gift
Young Role Model's Service Inspires Others
by Ken Rodriguez
In the West Side neighborhood where 15-year-old Joshua Alvarado lives, some people make their mark with a gun. Joshua makes his with a pen.
It is not uncommon for police in ZIP code 78207 to find a body spattered with blood. It is not uncommon for residents to see Joshua rewriting the rules of the hood.
Joshua picks up trash, removes graffiti and feeds the homeless. He tutors peers at the Boys and Girls Club down the street. He helps his polio-stricken grandfather into a wheelchair and accompanies him on important errands.

The Power of One
Bringing Learning to Life in the NISD
By Ken Rodriguez
The students in Maricela Alarcon’s 5th grade bilingual education class are not sitting still. They are not keeping quiet. They are not behaving according to convention.
They’re doing a game show. Maricela, 30, holds a microphone, calls her students "contestants" and leads them through a competition to see who knows the difference between prime and composite numbers.
