At Greg’s Petro, we’re proud to once again sponsor the Newspapers in Education (NIE) program in Bakersfield. This important initiative provides local students and teachers with access to physical and digital newspapers as educational tools, helping young people stay informed about the world around them while building critical thinking, reading, and writing skills.
We believe that investing in education is one of the most meaningful ways we can support our community. The NIE program brings real-world learning into the classroom, connecting students with current events and encouraging lifelong habits of curiosity and informed citizenship.
As a local business, we feel a strong responsibility to contribute to the future of Bakersfield—and that starts with our kids. Whether they go on to become mechanics, journalists, entrepreneurs, or community leaders, we want to help give them a strong foundation to build on.
Thank you to the educators who make this program possible, and to our neighbors who support local businesses that, in turn, support efforts like this. Together, we’re shaping a smarter, stronger community—one student at a time.
