FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AUGUSTA – With the Second Regular Session of the 128th Legislature just around the corner, Senator Joyce Maker (R-Washington) would like to once again invite all area students to join her at the State House for a day to serve as a page in the Maine Senate.
As a page, students have the opportunity to participate in a legislative session, delivering messages and distributing documents within the Senate Chamber.
“For many young Mainers, the paging experience is their first encounter with state government,” Senator Maker said. “It’s a hands-on way to learn about the legislative process. They also meet a lot of new people and have some fun along the way! I always enjoy meeting the legislative pages who come to spend a day with us in Augusta.”
The program, which lasts for one day’s session, is open for students from third grade through high school. The Legislature schedules pages for each session day, which begins on Wednesday, January 3 and will conclude on April 18.
For more information, please contact Senator Maker’s office at 207-287-1505.
