Mission:  The Partnership in Education (PIE) sponsorship program creates a consistent, positive, reciprocal relationship between the military community and the area education facilities in order to nurture the intellectual, emotional, social and physical growth of children and youth in the greater Fort Leonard Wood area.

PIE has often been thought to be part of the Adopt-a-School and tutoring programs, and historically has been the primary way the military (especially units) supported schools. The PIE concept has changed and represents a paradigm shift in the way the military community will support schools to enhance the potential for academic success of military children/youth.
