06/10/2021 12:01 AMLucas Blair and Jack Ouellette have been selected as Westbrook Middle School (WMS) recipients of the 2021 Connecticut Association of Schools (CAS) Scholar-Leader Award. CAS established the Scholar-Leader Award in 1985 to give public recognition to two students from each middle school in Connecticut who have demonstrated scholarship and leadership in school and the community. The award honors students whose record of academic achievement and service is truly exemplary, whose personal standards and accomplishments are models for others, and who possess high levels of integrity, self-discipline, honesty, and courage. Students are typically honored at a state-wide banquet at the Aqua Turf Club in Southington, but this year’s event was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Blair and Ouellette are well-rounded students who excel in all academic areas. They are motivated, engaged and serve as excellent role models for their peers. Blair and Ouellette are both active in sports and community service as well. Blair plays baseball for the WMS team and volunteers his time mentoring younger players in the Westbrook Little League. Ouellette plays hockey for the Greater New Haven Warriors of the Connecticut Hockey Conference, and he has recently started training with a private running club. Along with his father and sister, Ouellette volunteers at a monthly hockey clinic for players with special needs.
