Teachers at Dexter Elementary School got quite a surprise. Burlington Stores, through its partnership with AdoptAClassroom.org, donated $10,000 to Dexter teachers for them to use in their classrooms.
“We are so extremely excited and thrilled
​the EVSC Foundation worked to secure this donation for our school
,” said DeKarla Owens, Dexter principal. “We can’t thank Burlington and AdoptAClassroom.org enough for this generous donation and I know all of our teachers are so excited to use these funds to further enhance learning in our classrooms.”
Burlington, in partnership with AdoptAClassroom.org, makes a donation to a local school each time a new store is opened. In this case, this donation celebrates the opening of the new Burlington location in the East Lloyd Shopping Center next to PetSmart.
