Posted: February 21, 2024 | Uncategorized

AUGUSTA ­­— On Tuesday, Feb. 20, Sen. Donna Bailey, D-Saco, welcomed Thornton Academy freshman Nadia Christidis of Saco to the Senate Chamber. Nadia served as an Honorary Page.

“I am very impressed Nadia used one of her precious school vacation days to travel to the State House and serve as an Honorary Page today,” said Sen. Bailey. “One of the best parts of the program is meeting some of my younger constituents and hearing directly from them. If you would like to serve as an Honorary Page, please do not hesitate to reach out. We still have two more months of session, so there are plenty of opportunities remaining.”

On session days, the Senate Secretary’s Office manages the Honorary Page Program in the Maine State Senate. Open to students in third through twelfth grade, Honorary Pages perform various duties such as delivering messages; distributing documents within the Senate Chamber; interacting with State Senators; and – most importantly – taking part in a real world, legislative learning experience.

To sign up to serve as an Honorary Page, contact Alex Ferguson at (207) 287-1540 or Alex.Ferguson@legislature.maine.gov.
