• Thornton Academy Middle School celebrates 20 years (sacobaynews.com) — Arundel families are reminded that local students can still attend Thornton Academy Middle School in Saco through public funding, as the school marks its 20th anniversary. Staff who helped transition Arundel students describe how they fought to preserve that option and built a tight-knit community, while current students and teachers celebrated the milestone with games, music, and a student-designed commemorative T-shirt.
