Well yes of course, if the Adafruit_Python_SSD1306 directory exists in /home/pi, adding ...
... to rc.local won't work (nor will running this in a shell script run from rc.local) as commands run from rc.local are executed by root, root's home directory is /root.
Aside from that you shouldn't need a shell script at all, python scripts can be run just like other scripts so long as the interpreter is defined on the first line. The monitor.py script you have there has no #! to define an interpreter so you can add one.
Defining the interpreter as /usr/bin/python and making the script executable will allow you just run the script on it own.
Just insert...

Hope that helps.
