A representative from AdoptAClassroom.org contacted school administrators and helped to secure the donation for Stonegate Elementary, which provided $10,000 in new supplies.

According to Principal Largent, the teachers will be using the funds on a number of new classroom items.

“On behalf of Stonegate Elementary School, I would like to thank Burlington and AdoptAClassroom.org for adopting our entire school,” said Mrs. Largent. “Our teachers look forward to using the funds to enhance learning in our school and in their classrooms. We are thankful for the support we received from Burlington and AdoptAClassroom.org."

Burlington, in partnership with AdoptAClassroom.org, makes a donation to a local school in each Grand Opening market to celebrate a new store location.

The new Burlington store at 6140 Mills Drive Suite 200 in Whitestown will celebrate its Grand Opening Day on March 15. There will be a ribbon cutting, and the first 500 customers will receive a special give away item.

The Family Fun Event is March 16 from 10am-1pm and will include gift card give aways, kids activities, live music, and popcorn.

Thank you to Burlington from all of ZCS. We value the tremendous partnerships with all of our community businesses.

Welcome to Whitestown, and thank you for supporting all of our students and educators at Stonegate Elementary School through your generous donation!
