Once Again... Thank You, Hannaford's!!

 thanks, hannaford's!

Once again, Hannaford Supermarkets of Easton has donated $1000 to Mansfield High School through its Hannaford Help Schools program. Since the program's inception in 2005, over $6.2 million has been raised for schools throughout New York and New England. Based upon MHS parents' participation rates and product purchases, MHS was awarded a check for $1000 by the store. Pictured above receiving the check from Hannaford's store managers Arthur DeChellis and Brian Carnavale is MHS Principal Joe Maruszczak.


As the $1000 award is based upon MHS having the highest participation rate, our school has received this award from Hannaford's three of the last four years based upon product purchases. All proceeds go to the MHS Student Activities account. Many thanks to Hannaford's for their donation to our school!
