Yelm Middle School Business Partnership Program
- The Business Partner Program is a two-way partnership that allows each school to hold programs outside of the traditional classroom, meanwhile businesses are recognized in our schools’ newsletter, during assemblies, among many other benefits, depending on partnership level. Business Partners are also added to the ‘Graduate Yelm!’ network, a community mentorship program where you get the opportunity to participate in those activities. Business Partner Donations are used to create memorable experiences that make learning fun, like the Dr. Seuss celebration, which always brings out smiles as students learn valuable life lessons through clever poetry. It’s because of you that students get to experience these memorable activities.
