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

With the Legislature set to reconvene in January, Democratic Sen. Nate Libby of Lewiston 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 to not only 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.

“It is always an honor to host Lewiston students during their visit to the State House,” said Sen. Libby. “This is a great experience to learn how the legislature works and view the lawmaking process firsthand.”

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.
