 Burgin Elementary opened in 2000, located at the corner of Mayfield and Center streets. Our school has the privilege to carry the name of Tillie and Bob Burgin. Tillie and Bob are wonderful examples of what unconditional love and hard work can do for a community. We are honored to be Burgin Bengal's. Tillie established Mission Arlington in 1986, and still serves as the program's director. Mission Arlington began as a small bible study group held at the apartment of a woman whose electric bill Tillie helped pay. The organization has expanded into 220 locations, providing food, clothing, and assistance to more than 3,000 needy residents each week.
