Henry County Retired Teachers Foundation
The Griffith Family Book Grant
In Loving Memory of Lois Ann Griffith
Lois was a school teacher, 4-H advisor, volunteer, church choir member and director, mother,
and loving wife. She believed in giving back to the many communities that touched her. She enjoyed watching all her children
grow up. Her children include Jan, Pat, Chuck, Ken, Martha, Kim, her Liberty Center students, and her Henry County 4-H youth.
Lois shared her many talents through the youth of our community. This book grant will provide a lasting tribute
to Lois's memory and will assist qualified students to attend college.
Book grants from
this fund are awarded to full-time undergraduate students wishing to obtain a Bachelor's Degree in Education. Preference will be given to a new (freshman) student each year. If no one is eligible,
the committee may use discretion for students already enrolled in education degree programs. If no recipient is available,
the monies are added to the succeeding year's book grant. If the selected recipient is unable to attend college that fall,
the alternate will be awarded the book grant.

The Lucille and Margaret Sherman
Book Grant
For College Juniors Majoring in Education
This $500 grant is given in memory of two sisters who collectively taught many students
for over 82 years. Both were graduates of Bowling Green State University and began their teaching careers in a one-room
school house. Upon retirement, both sisters continued to be very active in their church, the Henry County Retired Teachers
Association (HCRT), and many other volunteer activities. Lucille was one of the first trustees of the HCRT Foundation
when it was formed and established as the Margaret Sherman Book Grant as a memorial to her sister.
