Chris Cunningham, Katahdin Elementary School principal, shows her excitement upon accepting an oversized check from the Ellis Family Market Hannaford Shop N Save for $1,484 through the Hannaford Helps Schools program. She said the donation will go toward student activities and programming. “Our students turned in the most Hannaford Helps Schools receipts,” said Cunningham. Although they knew they were getting the donation, Cunningham added, “they’re going to be more excited to see this big check.”  Seen with Cunningham, from left, are: Peter Ellis, Ellis Family Market co-owner and Dickie Somer, assistant store manager.
