What is a Business Partner?
Business partners help support a Joplin school in one or many ways. Here are a few:
- Take part in student and teacher recognition programs. (Examples: Provide awards for perfect attendance. Host a monthly luncheon for Good Citizen winners.
Sponsor an end-of-year Honor Roll picnic or other event.)
- Provide school supplies for students or classroom supplies for teachers.
- Help maintain a school's outdoor garden.
- Help conduct school fundraisers.
How to Become a Business Partner
Area businesses can easily partner with a Joplin school by contacting the principal of the school they are interested in partnering with. If you are not sure which school you would like to partner with, we can help match your organization with a school that will benefit from the resources you have to offer. Please contact:
