The Motto:
"Building Stronger Communities Through School and Business Partnerships"
The Mission:
The Crete-Monee Business Education Partnership will actively enhance the quality of education for our students through connecting business and community involvement to the classroom to provide and ensure a solid foundation for our region's future workforce.
Why BEP?
-
Businesses enjoy an enhanced community image, increase loyalty and morale in their employees and develop possible future employees. Businesses make their customers aware of their community service and their emphasis on the importance of education.
-
Businesses that support education are known as leaders in the community. Internally, partnerships with schools are rewarded with energized employees; those who participate in partnership programs report that they learn as much from the students as they teach.
-
Students learn that the community cares about education and about their academic success, as well as their success as adults.
What the partners are saying:
"The Business Education Partnership benefits the Crete community because it's the students and adults and the education community working together to make the community great. I'm proud to be a part of that kind of community."
