Logan County Retired Teachers met June 16 at the Masonic Center in Bellefontaine for a dinner meeting, where they recognized this year’s scholarship winner and awarded Lucy Brown Classroom Grants for local teachers.
Tamala Cole, STRS Director of Member Education, also answered questions about the pension system, which has 157,000 retired members.
The Lucy Brown Classroom Grants were awarded to the following teachers: Gretchen Powell from Benjamin Logan, Betsy Woodruff from Calvary Christian, Abbie Roe from Indian Lake, Rebecca Lentz from Riverside and Denise Stayrook from West Liberty Salem.
The $250 grants will be implemented during the 2022-23 school year.
A $1,000 scholarship was presented to Callie Notestine by the scholarship chairman Carol Davis. Callie is going into education at Capital University in the fall. She is a daughter of Dan and Tracey Notestine and she is a graduate of Indian Lake High School.
The next meeting will be in August. Details will be soon announced on the group’s Facebook page and in the Examiner.
