Geoff Pope, former NFL player and advocate for civic dialogue, visited Carver’s youth journalists today. Mr Pope offered praise for the school newspaper, The Carver Times, and was impressed by the students’ perspectives and level of engagement in our democracy. Mr Pope’s project is called The LCR, a digital newsletter devoted to opinions from the left, center, and right. A few of our football players also joined the conversation. The experience inspired us all to write more, practice more, and stay connected to each other in the process. Ca
