The Scotty Monteiro Jr. Award recipient for the month of November at Wareham Middle School is Sawyer Boutin.

School officials describe Boutin as a quiet, soft-spoken role model for her peers who is always prepared with a positive attitude and readiness to learn. 

The Scotty Monteiro Jr. Foundation’s cause is “Stopping the Violence” through education and awareness and rewarding excellent students.

The foundation honors the memory of Scotty Monteiro, Jr., an Onset native and Wareham High School graduate who was killed in 2009 when he attempted to stop a robbery at a party.
