 students with unique opportunities to explore different 

  

 perspectives, enhance their communication skills, and develop a 

  

 deeper understanding of human experiences; and

  

        WHEREAS, Participation in theatre activities has been shown 

  

 to improve students' academic performance, boost their 

  

 self-esteem, and encourage teamwork and collaboration; in 

  

 addition, theatre education promotes engagement in school and the 

  

 school community, and the skills gained through involvement in 

  

 theatre, including public speaking, problem-solving, and project 

  

 management, are essential for success in today's dynamic and 

  

 interconnected world; and

  

        WHEREAS, In 2024, 18 cities across Texas recognized March as

 theatre education and to celebrate the ways that public education 

  

 is enriched by performing arts programming; in March 2025, members 

  

 of the Texas chapter of the International Thespian Society are 

  

 visiting Austin for Theatre in Our Schools Month at the State 

  

 Capitol; an affiliate of the Educational Theatre Association, the 

  

 International Thespian Society is a high school honor society for 

  

 students who demonstrate excellence in the performing arts and 

  

 education; with more than 10,000 members, Texas Thespians is the 

  

 organization's largest chapter in the nation; and

  

        WHEREAS, By supporting theatre education, the State of Texas 

  

 is reaffirming its commitment to preparing students for the 

  

 challenges and opportunities of the future, and Theatre in Our 

  

 Schools Month serves to highlight the positive impact that access 

  

 to theatre arts programs has in the lives of countless young Texans; 

  

 now, therefore, be it

  

        RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas 

  

 Legislature hereby recognize March 2025 as Theatre in Our Schools 

  

 Month and acknowledge the value of theatre in the education of our
