It has been the honor of our lifetimes to serve as your 73rd Governor and First Lady.

From the bottom of our hearts—thank you, Virginia.

-- Ralph and Pam

[Pamela Northam @FirstLadyVA]

We won’t rest until ALL children have good food, adequate housing, medical care, excellent education, clean air and water, the laughter of a loving family, and a supportive, thriving community!

[Pamela Northam @FirstLadyVA]

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. 🚀

[Pamela Northam @FirstLadyVA]

I'm humbled and grateful beyond measure for the many heroes I've come to know working courageously for a better world for our children, especially during these last difficult years...

[Pamela Northam @FirstLadyVA]

All built on the work of @DSMcAuliffe, Deputy @Heidi_Hertz_VA and many others. Thank you @FeedMoreInc for being a trusted and reliable leader in ending hunger in Virginia!

[Feed More @FeedMoreInc]

🍽 Launching the Virginia Roadmap to End Hunger, the first comprehensive set of program strategies and policies for eliminating hunger at the state and local levels.

Thank you @GovernorVA @FirstLadyVA @AgForestryVA! (6/6)

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! 🚀

[Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73]

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

[Pamela Northam @FirstLadyVA]

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!

[Arlington Public Schools @APSVirginia]

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

Virginia has also expanded child care access to more families than ever before with 27,000 children now participating. Sign up today at https://t.co/MEo3HXAWS3!

[Pamela Northam @FirstLadyVA]

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!

[Pamela Northam @FirstLadyVA]

We appreciate students, parents, and staff who are getting vaccinated to protect themselves and their community!

[Senator Schuyler VanValkenburg @ScVanValkenburg]

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!

[Pamela Northam @FirstLadyVA]
