On October 6th Turkey Valley's 6-12 grade students joined 93 other schools across the state to participate in the Iowa Youth Straw Poll hosted by the Iowa Secretary of State's office. Students were invited to cast their ballots for the District 2 House race, the Iowa Senate race, and Iowa gubernatorial race. Across the state over 11,000 ballots were cast and 57 counties were represented. This is a great opportunity for students to learn about and express their civic duty.
Iowa Statewide Results:
Iowa Gubernatorial Race: Zach Lahn 50.1%, Rob Sand 49.9%
Iowa Senate Race: Ashley Hinson 44%, Josh Turek 42.%, Thomas Laehn 14%
Iowa House District 2 Race: Joe Mitchell 49%, Lindsay James 27%, Dave Bushaw 16%, Rick Stewart 8%

With Turkey Valley's Volleyball win over Kee last night they move on to the next round of Regionals! They will play Wednesday at Edgewood-Colesburg at 7 p.m. Doors open at 6 p.m. and you can purchase tickets beforehand on Bound or at the door with a card or cash. Admission will be $10.
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
