Burlington Stores, the national discount retailer offering low prices every day on brand name merchandise for the entire family and home, has donated $5,000 through its partnership with the national non-profit organization, AdoptAClassroom.org, in celebration of its new store now open in Bangor at 6 Bangor Mall Blvd. Funds will be used towards school supplies to help ensure students at Vine Street School have the learning materials and tools they need to succeed now and in the future.
A representative from AdoptAClassroom.org reached out to district and school administrators and helped to secure the donation for Vine Street School, which will support 14 classrooms with new supplies. According to Principal Swett, the teachers will use the funds on a number of new classroom items. “On behalf of the Bangor School Department, I would like to welcome our new local Burlington store to Bangor and thank them for their generous donation through their partnership with AdoptAClassroom.org to our school,” said Swett. “In a world where educational resources can sometimes be limited, your commitment to investing in our classrooms is invaluable. This donation not only provides us with additional supplies but also sends a powerful message to our students that their education matters. It teaches them the importance of community and the difference that kindness and generosity can make. At Vine Street School, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to learn and grow in a nurturing environment. With your support, we will enhance our classrooms and enrich our programs, which ultimately will foster a love for learning that lasts a lifetime.”
As part of Burlington’s holistic community giving approach of adding value to local communities, and in partnership with their national nonprofit partner AdoptAClassroom.org, they hope to help empower those in their local store communities to live better lives and build brighter futures. Each time Burlington opens a new store, they celebrate by adopting and funding local classrooms in their new store community. The new Bangor Burlington is now open at 6 Bangor Mall Blvd and provides ‘wow- deals’ for the entire family and home.
