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

"Talking with my pages and sharing with them what I do at the Statehouse each day is always a pleasure," Leising said. "I believe interactive learning experiences are often what students remember most about their education and the Senate Page Program provides just that."

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