The Sun Prairie Business and Education Partnership (BEP) started in 1989 with a small budget and one or two projects each year. Since then, every project that BEP has sponsored has come from a teacher/administrator or business member who saw a need to get the business community involved in the schools. Over the past 30+ years, the SPBEP has grown from a few school-to-business partnerships to a wide variety of programs serving all students in all levels of the Sun Prairie Area.
