LANSING – Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist II today joined Vision To Learn at Averill New Tech Elementary in Lansing to distribute eyeglasses to 35 students. Vision To Learn is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing free eye exams and glasses to students for success in school and life.

"School-based health services like Vision To Learn are a powerful tool to get students the resources they need," said Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist II. "By addressing common health issues like vision, dental care, hearing, and mental health right on campus, we can help students stay on track academically and realize their full potential. Governor Whitmer and I are proud of the work Vision To Learn has done to support students, and we look forward to continuing to make a difference for kids throughout Michigan."

Since taking office, Governor Whitmer and Lt. Governor Gilchrist II have worked to expand opportunities and improve outcomes for Michigan's children by making the largest education investments in state history-without raising taxes. These historic investments ensure our schools have the funds to help every Michigander reach their full potential.
