“On behalf of Indian Village, I welcome our new local Burlington store and thank them and AdoptAClassroom.org for their generous donation to our school,” Indian Village Principal Kara Miller said. “Our teachers are so excited to purchase new tools for their classrooms. We are thankful for the support we received from Burlington and AdoptAClassroom.org.”

Burlington is committed to supporting education through its partnership with AdoptAClassroom.org. Each time Burlington opens a new store, Burlington celebrates by adopting and funding a local school in their store community.
