BET and Alderman Shiller also recently teamed together to bring BET's Strengthening the Schools Through Theater Arts program to Uplift Community School.  Parents, students and members of the community all enjoyed the performance which focused on self esteem and respect for others.

BET has provided arts programming in other area schools for many years.
