A representative from AdoptAClassroom.org contacted school administrators and helped to secure the donation for S.J. Montgomery, which will provide $5,000 in new supplies for each teacher’s classroom.
According to Principal Shauna LeBlanc, the teachers will use the funds on a number of new classroom items and school supplies for the students.
“On behalf of LPSS and S.J. Montgomery, I would like to welcome our new local Burlington store and thank them and AdoptAClassroom.org for their generous donation to our school,” said Principal LeBlanc. “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.”
