On Friday, September 25 the Virginia Department of Education will celebrate the second annual Virginia is for Learners Day! Last year, Governor Ralph Northam recognized September 25 as Virginia is for Learners Day and Secretary of Education Atif Qarni presented the governor’s proclamation to Superintendent of Public Instruction James Lane during the commemorative event.
Virginia is for Learners demonstrates Virginia’s commitment to ensure that all public school students are ready to thrive after graduation. First launching as a campaign in April 2019 to engage families and educators in the momentum of major changes to public education made by the Commonwealth, the initiative has now evolved into the state agency’s new brand to embody its mission to ‘Maximize the potential of all learners’.
Join us on social media, on Friday, September 25 by sharing what Virginia is for Learners means to you using the hashtag #VAis4LearnersDay2020.
