SAN ANTONIO – The San Antonio Academy’s annual food drive surpassed previous school records by collecting over 22,000 items for the San Antonio Food Bank.

The food drive occurred from Nov. 7-18, finishing just before Thanksgiving, according to a news release.

Community service projects and the opportunity to serve others are essential concepts the San Antonio Academy works to instill in its students, school officials said.
