Sen. Vitelli welcomes Bath, Mt. Ararat Middle School students to the Maine Senate
AUGUSTA — On Thursday, Sen. Eloise Vitelli, D-Arrowsic, welcomed Bath and Mt. Ararat Middle School students including Grace Leary of Bowdoin, Ava McAvoy of Topsham, Violet Paquette of Topsham, Landon Prout of Topsham, Landyn Skelton of Bowdoin, and Charlie Stahl of Bath to the Senate Chamber. All of these students served as Honorary Pages.
“Despite the icy conditions, these students and their parents still braved the weather and made the journey to the State House,” said Sen. Vitelli. “As a former Head Start teacher, I am always happy to see children and give them opportunities to grow and learn. I hope that these students learned something about how Maine’s state government works.”
On session days, the Senate Secretary’s Office also manages the Honorary Page Program in the Maine State Senate. Open to students in third grade 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.
