SIDNEY — The Shelby County Retired Teachers Association recently chose two recipients of its annual Kent Smith Scholarship.

Cheyenne Driskell and Kayla New each received gants of $500.

Driskell is a 2015 graduate of Fairlawn High School and attends Ohio University, where she studies family and consumer sciences and business administration. She is the daughter of Christy and Shawn Driskell.
