Sen. Vitelli Invites Students to be Honorary Pages in the Senate Chamber

AUGUSTA —With the Legislature set to reconvene in January, Sen. Eloise Vitelli, D-Arrowsic, 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.

“I strongly encourage students in Sagadahoc County to participate in this program,” said Sen. Vitelli. “I am happy to help set up a visit to the state house for anyone interested – it is a great experience for young people to be a part of.”

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 meeting tomorrow on Wednesday,  January 4, 2017 and is expected to run through June 2017. Honorary pages are needed throughout the session, so scheduling is flexible.

For more information or to schedule a visit, contact Sen. Vitelli by phone at (207) 287-1515 or by email at Eloise.Vitelli@legislature.maine.gov.
