Veterans Day 2024
Posted November 11, 2024
SAA joined the nation in honoring the brave men and women who have fought for our country. This morning, we held our annual Veterans Day Convocation, where we recognized parents, faculty and staff members, grandparents, and alumni veterans with a special tribute during chapel and by presenting an Honor Roll of Service. A huge thank you to Academy mom Vicki Adelstein, who moved the audience with melodies that recognized each branch of the U.S. military.
Following chapel, our cadets held a parade with Army veteran and current parent Frank Carillo, serving as the reviewing officer.
Thank you to all who have sacrificed and served in our nation's armed forces.

San Antonio Academy’s Primary and Elementary School artists took the spotlight as families, faculty, and friends gathered in McCombs Gymnasium for the school’s annual art show. In partnership with Artome.com, the event showcased framed and matted artwork by every Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade student, creating a gallery-style experience that highlighted each boy’s masterpiece. The show served as both a culminating moment for months of classroom creativity and a fundraiser for the school, with a portion of each $30 artwork purchase benefiting The Academy.
The show continues to run virtually through April 20 on Artome’s Online Art Show platform, with any additional artwork purchases arriving at SAA within the next few weeks. To view the Online Art Show, visit www.sa-academy.org/artshow.
Special thanks go to art teachers Elizabeth Eversberg and Morgan Bates, whose careful curation turned the gym into a beautiful celebration of our young talent!

One of San Antonio Academy’s beloved public speaking traditions, “A Day at the Museum,” returned as our 3rd grade students transformed into historical figures from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. This performance marked the culmination of weeks of preparation, during which each student engaged in research, polished their public speaking skills, and memorized key facts about their historical figure. Whether channeling the bravery of Davy Crockett, the athleticism of Jim Thorpe, or the friendly spirit of Mr. Rogers, the boys impressed the audience with their confidence and delivery.
