Two young Boothbay Region Elementary School students join BRES Principal Mark Tess in accepting another $1,000 donation from Boothbay Harbor Hannaford representatives Evelyn Andrews and Ben Convery on Monday, April 24. BRES was once again the local recipient of the Hannaford Helps Schools fundraiser held this past fall and early winter. Schools earn money through customer purchases and since its inception, Hannaford Helps Schools has raised more than $9.2 million for schools in New England and New York. Tess said the money is used for a variety of programs. KEVIN BURNHAM/Boothbay Register
