The Turkey Valley seniors had an opportunity to hear from several local candidates running for office this fall. Rather than focusing on politics, our discussion centered on civic duty, public service, voting, and the importance of being an engaged citizen. It was a great opportunity for students to see democracy in action and recognize that their voices matters. Civic engagement isn’t just a right. It’s a responsibility! #TVPride
