Congressman to Visit Pope John School

U.S. Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen will speak to students in Sparta Thursday.

U.S. Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen (NJ-11) will visit students at Pope John XXIII Regional High School Thursday during a stop on a three-day tour of several area schools.

The congressman will meet with honors and AP Government students at the Sparta school at 12:15 p.m. before making his way to Ogdensburg Middle School to speak with seventh grade students later in the day.

Frelinghuysen regularly visits local schools, in addition to hosting townhall meetings throughout his district, which spans parts of Morris, Essex, Passaic and Sussex counties. He speaks to students about honoring their country and veterans who have or are currently serving overseas and asks kids to share their expectations of their government so that he can bring their feedback to his colleagues.
