Paul Duncan Named Winner of SAA Holiday Card Contest
Posted December 18, 2025
San Antonio Academy’s annual holiday card contest named 5th grader Paul Duncan as this year’s standout artist!
Students in Ms. Bates' art elective were invited to submit artwork for the card that captured the spirit of the season and the pride of The Academy. Submissions were voted on by faculty and staff, and Paul’s festive bear decked out in an SAA uniform shirt and Santa hat was chosen as the winning design, spreading “beary” merry cheer to our community!
Holiday cards were mailed to SAA families, alumni, employees, and other supporters.
