Lewis & Clark Elementary Receives $5K Donation From New Burlington Store

Burlington Stores, the national discount retailer delivering amazing value to customers every time they shop, through its partnership with the national non-profit organization, AdoptAClassroom.org, has donated $5,000 towards school supplies to Wenatchee School District’s Lewis & Clark Elementary in celebration of its new store now open in Wenatchee Wenatchee’s Valley North Shopping Center, 1380 N. Miller St.

A representative from AdoptAClassroom.org contacted school administrators and helped to secure the donation for Lewis & Clark Elementary, which will provide $5000 in new supplies for each teacher’s classroom.

According to Lewis & Clark Principal Alfonso Lopez, the teachers will use the funds on a number of new classroom items.

“On behalf of the Lewis & Clark Elementary and the Wenatchee School District, I would like to welcome our new local Burlington store to the neighborhood and thank them and AdoptAClassroom.org for their generous donation to our school,” said Lopez. The new Burlington store is located just East of the school. “Our teachers are so excited to purchase the tools they need for their classrooms this year. 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 elementary school in their store community.
