Truman High School to Receive $10,000 Grant from Burlington Stores

Burlington Stores, Inc., through its partnership with DonorsChoose.org, is donating $10,000 to Bristol Township School District’s Harry S Truman High School in celebration of its new store in Langhorne.

Representatives from Burlington Stores will present the check to Truman High School Principal Lyndell Davis during a senior assembly that will take place Friday, May 19, 2017, at 11 a.m. at the high school.

A representative from DonorsChoose contacted school administrators and helped to secure the grant for Truman High School.

According to Principal Davis, the school has not identified a specific project, but is considering purchasing furniture to support collaborative student learning in conjunction with the new Chromebooks the English department has received. Also under consideration is creating a space to assist teachers in developing online resources for student learning.

“On behalf of the District, I would like to thank Burlington and DonorsChoose for this generous grant,” said Mr. Davis. “We look forward to using the funds to enhance learning in our school. We are thankful for the support we received from Burlington and DonorsChoose.”

Burlington, in partnership with DonorsChoose.org, makes a donation to a local school in each Grand Opening market to celebrate a new store location. The Burlington store will open at 2375 East Lincoln Highway, Langhorne.
