Pages spend a day at the Statehouse touring the historic building, observing debates from the Senate floor and interacting with their state senator.

"Our page program provides students with a unique opportunity to experience the legislative process," Crider said. "It's always exciting to welcome students from my district to the Statehouse, including my grandson, who had the opportunity to serve as a page this session. Answering any questions they have about legislation is a great way for them to learn about state government firsthand."

Students in grades six through 12 participate in the page program on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays during the legislative session. Groups serve on Wednesdays.
