The Jones Academy outdoor theater was funded through Texas Trust's Spirit Debit Reward
program.
Arlington, TX, June 01, 2017 --(PR.com)-- The Jones Academy of Fine Arts and Dual Language
celebrated the completion of its building and the new outdoor performance area with a community event.
The outdoor performance area was generously funded through Texas Trust Credit Union's Spirit Debit
Reward program.
The Arlington ISD joined the popular program in December 2015. The district earns 10 cents each time a
cardholder uses an Arlington ISD Spirit Debit Reward card. Initial proceeds from the program were
designated to the Jones Academy.
The outdoor performance area is nestled among trees and bushes in a park-like setting. The raised stage is
surrounded by a stone wall and topped by a trio of large canopies. The seating area offers tiered stone
benches that can accommodate hundreds of guests.
The outdoor performance area was designed to serve all students at the Jones Academy and throughout
the district, offering another avenue to provide creative, arts-integrated learning opportunities for
students. It will be used to bring learning to life through art, music, dance and theater. This is the first
outdoor performance area within the Arlington Independent School District.
We are pleased to partner with Texas Trust for this unique facility, AISD Superintendent Dr. Marcelo
Cavazos said. The outdoor performance area will increase fine arts opportunities for students and
families.
The Arlington ISD Spirit Debit Reward program includes six different Spirit cards, which are available to
any current member of Texas Trust, or new members who open a checking account with the credit union.
There is no fee for the Spirit Debit Reward card, and it can be used anywhere Mastercard is accepted.
The Spirit Debit Reward card allows members to support the AISD every time they use the card to buy
something, said Jim Minge, president and CEO of Texas Trust Credit Union. The Jones Academy
outdoor performance area is a prime example of how the AISD is benefiting from the Spirit Debit Reward
program.
The new outdoor performance area was dedicated on May 27 during a community-wide event. The
outdoor performance area and school were dedicated in honor of Jimmy and Laura Jones, the school's
namesakes.
