2026 Elementary Grandparents' Chapel
Posted January 16, 2026
San Antonio Academy was delighted to host the grandparents of 3rd–5th grade students for the Elementary Grandparents’ Chapel & Coffee on Friday, January 16. More than 50 proud grandparents filled the front rows of Ellison Hall, sharing in one of The Academy’s most treasured daily traditions, morning chapel.
The special gathering featured a heartfelt “Fraternitas Friday” message delivered by 8th grader Foster S. The morning provided a wonderful opportunity to celebrate and honor the vital role grandparents play in the lives of our boys and within The Academy community.
We can’t wait to welcome our Middle School grandparents for their own chapel celebration on Friday, March 6, 2026. Be sure to RSVP!
