takers.
“Those being named Commended
Students have demonstrated
outstanding potential
for academic success,” commented
a spokesperson for the
National Merit Scholarship
Corporation. “These students
represent a valuable national
resource: recognizing their accomplishments,
as well as the
key role their schools play in
their academic development,
is vital to the advancement
of educational excellence in
our nation. We hope that this
recognition will help broaden
their educational opportunities
and encourage them as
they continue their pursuit of
academic success.”
Callie is the daughter of
Myles and Theresa Cassidy of
Millis. She is President of the
Library Teen Council, a member
of the Mohawk Post newspaper
staff, and involved in
the Millis High School Drama

Medway Boy Scouts Hold Book
Sale for Food Pantries
Event Replaced “Scouting for Food” this Year
By J.D. O'Gara
Each year, Medway Boy Scout Troop 108 usually
embarks on its “Scouting for Food” program,
supporting the Medway Village Food Pantry and
the Medway Food Pantry at Mahan Circle. This
year, due to Covid-19, the group of 14 boys, all 12
and older, couldn’t hold their annual event outside
Shaw’s in Medway, so instead, they held a book sale
at 2 Barber Street, in Medway on October 10th.
The event yielded over $600.
“Normally, we’d standing outside Shaw’s and
the boys would be getting involved in sorting and
stacking pantry shelves,” says adult leader Mat
Thomsen, “but it’s not possible right now.” Thomsen
explains the group resumed meeting in May
online, then began to meet over the summer, at
Choate Pavilion, in July.”
“We’ve been trying to do outdoor activities for
the boys, safe and socially distant,” says fellow adult
leader Tamara Smith. Activities over the summer
included a night hike, merit badge work, a 5-mile
hike and trail cooking.

Troop 108, which is sponsored by St. Joseph’s Parish,
