Matthew is very deserving of this award: He was recently elected by his peers to serve as Senior Patrol Leader of his Boy Scout Troop 315. In that role, he serves as liaison between his peers the Troop’s Scouts and the adult Troop Leaders. Matthew believes it’s very important to take an active role and lead by example. He made it a priority to help several Scouts as they were developing and managing their Eagle Scout service project.
Upon graduation from St. Anastasia School, Matthew received two notable awards: The American Legion School Award from Marple Post 805, and the Presidential Award for Outstanding Academic Excellence (for a 4-year general average of at least 93).
Matthew played on NELL Baseball teams from age 5-12. He’s currently on a baseball team in the Broomall Newtown Babe Ruth League.
At Marple Newtown High School, Matthew was on the Freshman football team, and he now runs indoor and outdoor track. Matthew was recently nominated by his teachers to speak to Paxon Hollow 8th graders about his experience at MNHS.
As a kid, Matthew loved playing with Legos and toy soldiers. He now has his sights set on attending West Point, to prepare for a career in the Army.
