Every year South Middle gives away two $1,000 scholarships to graduating Seniors at Braintree High School. Last year we had nearly 110 runners/walkers despite the freezing March temperatures. The race is organized by the South Middle School Student Council and their teacher advisor Matthew Freeman.
