“I knew that when I was 80, I was not going to regret having tried this. I knew that if I failed, I wouldn’t regret that. But I knew the one thing I might regret is not having ever tried. I knew that would haunt me every day.” @JeffBezos on how he decided to start @amazon

In Michigan, we fund scholarships for future educators, pay student teachers, and help full-time teachers with their student loans.

We’re making it loud and clear: We support our teachers!

You don’t have to be famous to influence people and make a difference in the world; you just have to have the courage to choose a life that values people and adds value to people.

Wherever you are and whatever you’re doing, you have the potential to change your world!

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and in Michigan, we've whipped up a recipe for success!

We worked hard to ensure all 1.4 million public school students have full bellies with free breakfast and lunch. Start your day right and eat a healthy breakfast today 🍎

Happy #WomensHistoryMonth to all the powerful women in Michigan and across the country! Let’s continue to shatter glass ceilings, raise strong women, and celebrate one another. 💪

Let’s broaden our vision of education beyond K-12.

Every single Michigander can count on a free public education from pre-K through an associate’s degree. That’s the Michigan guarantee.

[Governor Gretchen Whitmer @GovWhitmer]

You bet.

[Governor Gretchen Whitmer @GovWhitmer]

All I'm sayin' is, Michigan is clearly the place to be. 🤷‍♀️

This healthy school lunch is free!

Making sure our kids have full bellies so they can focus on learning: Priceless.

[Governor Gretchen Whitmer @GovWhitmer]

On today's agenda: preparing meals at Endeavor Elementary!

The people who cook, prepare, and serve our kids' meals make a huge difference in their lives. I'm here to roll up my sleeves and see the hard work that goes into this process every day.

[Lieutenant Governor Garlin Gilchrist II @LtGovGilchrist]

You've probably heard that our FY2024 budget provides funding for every 4th grader in Michigan to get a free field trip to a state park.

Some will be lucky enough to visit Tahquamenon Falls State Park -- a Northern Michigan gem.

[Governor Gretchen Whitmer @GovWhitmer]

When I first ran for governor, someone said to me: “Just promise me you’ll show up as you are. Don’t dim yourself because of what other people think and feel, be who *you* are.”

I’ve carried that message with me through all the ups and downs.

[Governor Gretchen Whitmer @GovWhitmer]

200 DAYS! Time flies when you're having fun and getting things done. 💪

@LtGovGilchrist and I are 200 days into our second term and I couldn't be prouder of all that we've accomplished.

Let's take a walk down memory lane, ICYMI:

[Governor Gretchen Whitmer @GovWhitmer]

Our 'Make It In Michigan' budget is a huge win for our schools, teachers, and students!

[Governor Gretchen Whitmer @GovWhitmer]

A few weeks ago, the legislature passed the largest school aid budget in Michigan's history. And today, with the creation of MiLEAP, it's clear: Providing quality education and lifelong learning opportunities for Michiganders is a MUST, not a maybe.

[Governor Gretchen Whitmer @GovWhitmer]

Our budget makes Michigan one of the lowest-cost states to become a teacher by providing:

🍎 tuition-free training
🍏 student loan repayment
🍎 stipends while student teaching

Our teachers go above and beyond for our students, so we must to go above and beyond for them.
