Schools request federal funds
Congressman Joe Knollenberg (second from left) accepts a school banner on the occasion of his visit to the campus in April to learn first-hand about a joint request from St. Mary's College and St. Mary's Preparatory requesting a $1.5 million federal grant for the renovation of dormitories and the library, and a request for $125,000 to support programs in math, science, and ESL and Polish language instruction. Making the presentation, and hosting a tour of the campus, were Mike Obloy (left), vice chair of the Orchard Lake Schools Board of Regents; Leo Peterson, Board of Regents chair; and Chancellor Fr. Timothy Whalen.
