The Business Partners Program works to create partnerships
between the business and education community to enhance and
enrich the curriculum and encourage quality education in
individual public schools. Now more than ever, Lee County's
public schools can benefit from our community's resources. Wtih
the commitment and involvement of the entire community, our
students will develop the skills, self-confidence and motivation
that will give them more opportunities to excel.
As a component of the Business Partners program, your business
or organization can become part of an exciting and rewarding
relationship. It can "adopt" a school by pledging to provide it
with time, talents and/or resources for one school year. A
school actually needs a number of Business Partners providing
help in individual areas. No one business or organization is
ever expected to meet all of a school's special needs.
From the largest company to the smallest business or
organization, all are eligible to become Business Partners.
Some Business Partners choose to adopt a school that is in the
same neighborhood area where their business is located. Others
select a school because their children or grandchildren attend
there, or because it has a curriculum related to their specific
business.
Each Fall the Foundation hosts its a breakfast to thank 1,500 plus businesses and
organizations that partner with the schools.
