President Trump issued a back-to-school letter to American students through the Department of Education.
“Welcome back to school! Mrs. Trump and I send our best wishes to you, your families, and your teachers as you begin this new academic year,” the letter says. “The Golden Age of America relies upon your tremendous leadership, commitment, and character. I encourage you to do your best in school each day, ask questions, and never stop learning. Keep dreaming big and working hard, and always remember there is no limit to what you can achieve for yourself and for the United States of America.”
Trump wrote in his letter that he is “fighting every day to strengthen your school, make your community safer, and create new opportunities for your future so you can build your own unique American Dream.”
He encouraged students to share their milestones with his administration. “As you reach new milestones this year, Mrs. Trump and I hope you will share them with us,” the letter read. “Write to the White House, and tell us about the projects you are proud of, the lessons you have learned, the success you have in sports, the goals you have set, and the ways you are making a difference in your school and community.”
“I wish you a wonderful school year—work hard, and have fun! May God bless you, and may He continue to bless the United States of America.”
The Trump administration has prioritized academic initiatives as part of its agenda. First Lady Melania Trump used education as the basis for her address during a United Nations Security Council meeting. “The path to peace depends on us taking responsibility to empower our children through education and technology,” she said.
