First lady Dr. Jill Biden comes to Royal Oak touting in-person learning strides made

The stop at Oakland Community College in Royal Oak is part of the Department of Education’s Return to School Road Trip, a five-state bus tour visiting schools that are back in the classroom.

The first lady will be in Detroit next weekend when she is expected to attend an annual religious dinner.

The Yeshiva Beth Yehudah's annual dinner will be hosted at the city's Marriott Renaissance Center, continuing a tradition that's extended more than 50 years. 

Dr. Jill Biden will be the guest speaker at the dinner, a release from the White House said. 

Biden previously visited Royal Oak in September as part of a five-state bus tour. 

The annual dinner was held virtually last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Operations will resume normally this weekend when Biden speaks at 4:30 p.m.

General Motors CEO Mary Barra will also be in attendance, where she will be this year's recipient of the Outstanding Leadership Award. 

Yeshiva Beth Yehudah is a Jewish school with campuses in Southfield and Oak Park.
