And the Surprise Squad winner is...Anna Loome from Millinocket

MILLINOCKET, Maine (WABI) - The WABI Surprise Squad was back at it Wednesday.

You may recall the ads we ran calling for nominations a few months back. In the end, we received more than 100 entries.

It was so difficult to make our final choice, but we did, and that choice brought us to Stearns Junior- Senior High School in Millinocket Wednesday morning.

Aside from the principal and a few staff members, no one knew what the assembly Wednesday morning was for.

As students filed into the room they saw our cameras, so we told them in as boring a way as possible.. that it was for a run-of-the-mill news story.

But they were in for a surprise... as our squad was waiting to storm the theater and announce English teacher Anna Loome as the Surprise Squad winner!

Through our partnership with Renewal by Andersen, a $1,500 donation went to the school and Loome also received $1,500 for herself. The nominator also suggested the Loome would like the items for a reading nook, so she got that too!

Congratulation, Anna Loome!
