All aboard The SAA Express!
The holiday spirit shone brightly during "The SAA Express," San Antonio Academy's annual holiday concerts! Inspired by themes from the beloved film, "The Polar Express," the performances were filled with heartwarming songs and festive cheer.
A huge thank you to our talented music teachers, Dr. Owen Duggan and Ms. Traci Brown, as well as all the supporting cast, both on stage and behind the scenes, for creating such a magical experience for our Academy families.
