Junior Trojans build & Donate Athletic Facility
AT H L ET IC S

Dr. Paul Remmes, assisted by Headmaster Rene Menard ‘88, Thornton varsity football Coach Kevin Kezal , and fellow

Junior Trojan supporters Bob Runnells and Guy Picard ‘91 cut a ceremonial ribbon to the appreciative applause of those
assembled for this historic occasion on September 28th.
Under blue skies and basking in the glow of the
TA Golden Trojan’s varsity football victory over
Sanford, a large crowd of Junior Trojan football
players, Junior Trojan cheerleaders and parents,
joined the varsity football team for the ribboncutting ceremony of a newly-constructed athletic
facility. With a fitting maroon and gold exterior,
the new building houses a concession stand,
bathrooms and storage overlooking the playing
field, and will enhance the Thornton Academy
campus and athletic program. Major contributors
to the project include the Saco Bay Lacrosse
program, which donated $50,000 toward this
project, Paul and Holly Remmes, and the TA
Athletic Boosters.
Dr. Paul Remmes welcomed those gathered and
unveiled a plaque recognizing the long list of
businesses and individuals who generously
donated to this project, which was 100%
privately funded.

The newest enhancement to
Thornton Academy’s athletic
facilities
