Thank you to Governor Abigail Spanberger, Pamela Northam, and @VASecOfEdu for taking a moment to sign thank you notes to Virginia's deserving public school teachers for #TeacherAppreciationWeek! You can fill out & send one too at ThankATeacherVA.com! 💚🍎

SPECIAL VISITORS! We were pleased to welcome Governor Abigail Spanberger, Secretary of Education Atif Qarni, and other distinguished guests this morning to Atlee High School for a special Teacher Appreciation Week visit!

In phrases such as a day's pay or five years' probation, use an apostrophe with a measurement followed by a noun (a quantity of the noun). A day of pay, five years of probation. No apostrophe when the quantity precedes an adjective: six months pregnant, three weeks overdue.

CONGRATULATIONS! Jordan Chaulklin, a Hanover High School alumnus, was voted as the Virginia Military Institute Class of 2021's valedictorian. Jordan graduated from VMI this weekend and commissioned into the U.S. Army Reserves. He plans to pursue a career as a firefighter. Congratulations, Jordan!

Whether driving across the country or around the corner, always #buckleup. It just might save your life. #ArriveAlive #ClickItOrTicket

We love to share safe driving tips and reminders, but sometimes that probably gets a bit repetitive. So, this morning, please drive safe - and enjoy this GIF of a puppy in a hammock 🐶

The VDOT Ashland Residency was "beary" surprised to see this uninvited guest in the backyard this morning 🐻 No word on if the bear left a picnic basket, or a brochure about forest fires.

It’s up to all of us to follow public health guidelines to beat COVID-19. That’s why I’m in quarantine after the G7, NATO, and Canada-EU summits. That’s why I took my Day-8 test today. And that’s why I’ll keep working from home until my 14-day quarantine comes to an end.

Shout out to VDOT Richmond IMC Chris Rusk who responded to a bear down on #I95. A teddy bear was found suffering from road rash, dehydration & a head injury. The bear did not remember his family & asked to stay with Rusk & bring comfort to children in crisis during traffic incidents.

Sorry, KATY PERRY 🤷‍♀️
