Thank you to the hundreds of schools and programs who opened their doors to us across Virginia. We asked you to join us in making transformational change and the Commonwealth is a better place because of you. We'll continue advocating for our greatest asset: our children. -Pam

What an incredible honor and privilege it's been to serve as First Lady. Four years ago I said we'd work to make a difference in the lives of children. Now, thousands more children have access to quality early learning programs, a launchpad to success in school and beyond. 🚀

And that includes doubling our state Pre-K investment to provide a record 25,000 slots for 3 and 4 year olds. Four years later, Virginia is providing more opportunities for families with Little Learners than ever before! 🚀
For the past four years we have increased our investments in K-12 education. We’ve put historic amounts of support into at-risk students. We’ve raised teacher salaries more than 10 percent, the largest increase in 15 years. #VASOTC

Pam and I were deeply saddened to learn of a fire at the home of former governor Chuck Robb. Our thoughts are with Chuck and Lynda as they recover from this tragedy.

In 2020, @GovernorVA expanded public Pre-k to thousands of 3-year-olds for the first time statewide. Divisions like Arlington led the way by funding 2 years of quality Pre-k early on. Thank you for introducing @BarbaraFavola, @Lopez4VA, and me to your little learners today!
Thank you @FirstLadyVA for visiting @MPSArlington this morning to see the incredible work of our students at Virginia's first-ever stand-alone public Montessori school. @SuptDuran @Monique4APS @BarbaraKanninen

We could not have expanded Pre-K to a record 25,000+ three and four year olds without established local partners. @FRIENDSrva in Richmond is celebrating 150 years of serving Virginia children and families!

Today, @GovernorVA and @FirstLadyVA came to @GAHS_Official for their Thank You, VA tour. They’re ending their term as they started, focusing on education. From expanding pre-k to investing in k12, counselors, and teachers to G3, they’ve done right by our kids and our future!
