Caitlin Morrow, daughter of Teamsters Local 406 and Spartan Stores warehouseman David Morrow, was one of 31 lucky students chosen to receive a $10,000 James R. Hoffa Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship, available to all Teamster member’s children and grandchildren who are in the top 15% of their class, is a nationwide competition. The scholarship is highly competitive and a great accomplishment to which Caitlin’s father, David, says she has worked very hard for.

Caitlin just recently graduated, 2^nd in her class, from West Catholic High School. Her excellent grades, impressive ACT and SAT scores, and many extracurricular activities all helped earn her this scholarship. Student government, jazz band, art club, choir, quiz bowl, and participating in many school plays and musicals has kept her very busy during her high school years. Caitlin also has taken numerous honors classes, won many academic awards, and is in the National Honors Society.

Outside of school, Caitlin enjoys reading, drawing and swing dancing. She doesn’t have many big plans for the summer because she is busy preparing to move to Texas where she will be attending the University of Texas at Dallas. She plans to study for a career in medical research.

Caitlin comes from a strong union family who have taught her to work hard. Her dad, David Morrow, has been with Spartan Stores and a member of Teamsters Local 406 for 22 years. Her mom, Mary Luther-Morrow, is a member of the MEA and has served on the bargaining committee and her grandfather, Charles Luther, was a member of the UAW where he also served as a steward.

Congratulations Caitlin on your hard work! General Teamsters Local Union No. 406 is proud to have one of our member’s children win this prestigious award!
