Visit from Morgan Griffith

Check Elementary seventh graders had a special guest last week - United States Congressman Morgan Griffith.  Griffith represents Floyd and surrounding areas in the U.S. House of Representatives.  Students had written some thought-provoking questions for the Congressman and appreciated Representative Griffith taking time out of his busy schedule to visit CES.

Here is a sampling of their questions:

Do you always get along with the people that you work with?
How do you feel about the proposed Mountain Valley Pipeline?
Did you attend the State of the Union Address, and if so, where did you sit?
How do you feel about Obamacare?
What are your thoughts on free community college?
How can we do more to protect the environment without spending a lot of money?
Would you ever consider running for President?

Representative Griffith encouraged students to stay informed of current events by watching the news and to carry out their civic duty at the polls.
