FLOTUS headed to Michigan with Betsy DeVos, U.S. Secretary of Education, as part of the White House’s “Week of Inclusion.”
The week, which coincides with National Bullying Prevention Month, is aimed at making sure people feel valued and respected. As part of that effort, Melania Trump visited with 7th and 8th grade students at the Orchard Lake Middle School.
MELANIA TRUMP SLAMMED FOR WEARING SUNGLASSES AT NIGHT

While she was decidedly dressed down for the occasion, pictures from the day show Trump having a good time smiling with the youngsters and posing for selfies.
During her time there, Trump encouraged the children to “find a new friend and eat with your new friend,” the Detroit Free Press reports. The First Lady also suggested the middle schoolers mingle with the opposite sex.
