The Pharr City Commission approved a proclamation declaring March 2021 as “Theatre in Our Schools Month”. March is designated as “Theatre in Our Schools” (TIOS) Month, a national movement where thousands of students and theatre educators join together in raising awareness about the impact of theatre education, drawing attention to the need for more access for all students, and supporting school theatre programs in need.Â
The goal of TIOS Month is to not only raise awareness inside the school walls, but beyond and into the community; to share the story of the importance of school theatre with leaders, influencers, policymakers, and all community members. The proclamation was accepted by Mr. Alejandro Coronado, Fine Arts Director at Vanguard Academy in Pharr.
“At Vanguard, we’ve always felt that Fine Arts, Dance, and Theatre have always been a strong foundation for the core classes and we have them available for all our students from Kindergarten all the way to Twelfth grade,” said Coronado. “These programs make for well-rounded students,” he added.Â
