AUGUSTA ­­— On Monday, April 1, Sen. Eloise Vitelli, D-Arrowsic, welcomed Bath Middle School student Abigail Thomas of Bath to the Senate Chamber. Abigail served as an Honorary Student Page. She was accompanied by her mother, Emily Thomas.

“It was wonderful having Abigail in the Senate Chamber, and I appreciate her taking the time to come in,” said Sen. Vitelli. “Welcoming young students to the State House supplements their academic endeavors and promotes this interest in government. It might even spark a dream or a goal. I hope Abigail had a memorable experience.”
