Margaret E. Klett Literary Scholarship This scholarship was established in 1999 by Mr. and Mrs. Donald Pakosh (Kathleen Klett Garrett ’68) in memory of her mother, Margaret E. Klett. It is awarded annually in October on the Feast of the Guardian Angels. Our recipient this year is Katherine Prendergast ’10 (pictured at left with President S. Virginia Bobrowski and Principal Jennifer Moran). A quote from Katie’s scholarship application is highlighted below.
“Although ‘Building Solidarity’ is our theme this year, it is one that has been a focus of our school since its foundation. At Holy Angels, building solidarity is as much a part of the curriculum as English or Math.” 5
