AUGUSTA, Maine — With the Legislature having recently reconvened, Sen. Troy Jackson, D-Allagash, issued a reminder about the Senate Honorary Page program at the State House in Augusta.
The daylong program gives students a unique opportunity not only to observe the state’s legislative process, but to be a part of it. All students from third grade through high school are encouraged to participate.
“The page program is an excellent opportunity for our young people to see how the business of government really works,” said Sen. Jackson. “I look forward to meeting as many of these students as possible this session and stressing the importance of community service.”
Honorary pages help deliver messages, distribute documents within the Senate Chamber, interact with the senators and, most importantly, take part in a real-world, interactive legislative learning experience.
The Legislature began Jan. 4 and is expected to run through June 2017. Honorary pages are needed throughout the session, so scheduling is flexible.
For more information or to schedule a visit, contact Jackson by phone at (207) 287-1515 or email Troy.Jackson@legislature.maine.gov.
