UT PAC – Performing Arts & Academic Collaborative)

(Community Matters) Another fun part of my day was the ACF grants site visit at UT PAC, with Bertha Arellano & Sharon Chruchin from Del Valle & Judith Rhedin, Gail Giebink, Brenda Simms and Cathryn Seymour Dorsey from UT. Plus my ACF colleagues Mandy Dealey, Beverly Silas and Meagan Anderson.

Reviewed this very cool program which brings music, theatre and dance to over 1,800 economically-disadvantaged students. They partner with UT’s Language Arts curriculum so that the kids really learn as well as have fun – and experience UT and performing arts, which most never would or have. The Del Valle teachers gave testimonials of life changing results for their students. Super program, never enough funding. Congrats to all.
