2025-26 Pre-K & Kindergarten Grandparents' Chapel & Coffee
Posted September 19, 2025
San Antonio Academy welcomed grandparents to campus for the first Grandparents’ Chapel & Coffee of the school year on Friday, September 19. The special morning was dedicated to our Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten families, with more than 60 grandparents joining their Academy boys in the front rows of Ellison Hall. Together, they experienced the meaningful traditions that begin each school day at The Academy.
As part of the event, our guests of honor enjoyed a presentation from Señora Alexandra Johnson, SAA's Primary School Spanish Teacher, who shared how she nurtures a love of the Spanish language in the school's youngest learners. With engaging activities and encouragement, she helps the boys develop confidence in speaking Spanish from an early age.
The morning was filled with warm smiles, heartfelt moments, and a reminder of the special role grandparents play in The Academy community. San Antonio Academy is deeply grateful for the love and support grandparents bring and is honored to celebrate them in such a meaningful way.
We look forward to our 1st and 2nd grade Primary School grandparents joining us on Friday, September 26, for our second Grandparents' Chapel program of the school year. Don't forget to RSVP!

In the spirit of service and gratitude, San Antonio Academy joined forces with Catholic Charities of San Antonio to support Project Turkey Box, a community initiative providing Thanksgiving meals to families in need. Over the course of three days, boys from every grade level worked to transform banana boxes into cheerful vessels for holiday dinners. Each box was wrapped, decorated, and included a handwritten Thanksgiving note. The small gesture will soon bring joy and nourishment to homes across San Antonio this holiday season. With Catholic Charities’ goal of preparing 500 boxes, Academy students made a significant contribution toward meeting that milestone. The project, held just a short walk from campus, offered boys a firsthand look at how small acts of service can make a big impact.
