Dear Friend,?

Next month is Reading Month [ [link removed] ], when we come together to celebrate and promote the joy and importance of reading in Michigan. Reading plays a crucial role in our lives, expands our knowledge of the world and each other, and helps us grow our imagination and build empathy. That?s why, in this year?s budget [ [link removed] ], I have proposed increased investments in literacy grants and coaches for children and adults, so Michiganders of all ages can experience the joy of reading.?

I hope you make the most out of this month by reading something new, returning to an old favorite, or writing a story of your own! Whether you have a short story that you?ve written or are inspired to write one for the first time, I encourage you to send it to me. During Reading Month, I will be sharing some of your stories on my social media to celebrate your talents and bring people together.??

To submit your story:?


* Visit my website [ [link removed] ]
* Click ?Contact the Governor?
* Fill out the form and attach a copy of your story!
* Please make sure to include your name, grade, and the city you live in?

Submissions will be accepted exclusively through the online system and must be received no later than Sunday, March 12th, 2023.??

I am so excited to read your stories. Michigan?s young people are intelligent, creative, and imaginative, and I hope that students from across the state share their creativity and hard work with me. Let?s celebrate the power of reading together!?

Sincerely,?

Governor Whitmer

Gretchen Whitmer
