Sen. Breen invites students to serve as honorary pages in the Maine Senate

AUGUSTA —With the Legislature set to reconvene in January, Democratic Sen. Cathy Breen of Falmouth would like to remind local schools and students 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.

“This program is a great opportunity for tomorrow’s leaders to get firsthand experience with the legislative process,” said Sen. Breen. “It is an honor to be able to introduce students to the State House.”

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 will begin its second session on January 6 and is expected to run through April 2016. Honorary pages are needed throughout the session, so scheduling is flexible.

For more information or to schedule a visit, contact Sen. Breen’s office at (207) 287-1515 or email her at cathy.breen@legislature.maine.gov.
