Henry E. Reid
Memorial Scholarship Fund
In Henry Reid’s seventeen years with the Oak Park Elementary School District #97, he touched many student’s lives. Throughout those years, he served as the Social Worker for Hatch, Holmes and Julian schools. One of the earliest supporters of the Cast program at Julian, Henry believed that CAST could positively affect the lives of many children regardless of the differences in their abilities.
Upon Henry’s death in 1993, his wife Sherlynn and his three daughters, Mary, Dorothy and Lorie, honored his wish and established the Henry E. Reid Scholarship Fund to enable all children, regardless of the specific need, to participate fully in Cast.
Since it began, the scholarship fund has given thousands of dollars to students who otherwise could not afford a quality performing arts experience. Reid Scholarships are available to help defray the cost of CAST Jr. as well. Please click the link below to access the scholarship application. If you have questions please contact Kathy Simon in the CAST lab 708-524-7848 or ksimon@op97.org.
