The First Lady will be in Akron next week alongside LeBron James.

Northeast Ohio Media Group reports that Michelle Obama will join LeBron at a University of Akron event next Wednesday for students and parents involved in his "Wheels For Education" and "I Promise" programs.

The early word comes from a White House advisory, and more details on the Michelle Obama trip will come out in the coming days.

The First Lady has her own "Reach Higher" initiative, designed to encourage students to expand their education after high school.
