Tosch Elementary teachers received a special surprise to start the school year: $5,000 to help purchase supplies and materials for their classrooms.

The donation from Burlington Stores, made through its partnership with AdoptAClassroom.org, will provide Tosch teachers with additional funds to purchase resources for their students throughout the school year.

The $5,000 gift was presented to Tosch Elementary to celebrate the opening of a new Burlington store in the Mesquite community.

For Tosch teachers, the surprise means more resources they can put directly into their classrooms and into students' hands.

Tosch Elementary is grateful for the donation and the additional support it will provide teachers and students this school year.
