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

"I always look forward to meeting local students and teaching them about our state government," Leising said. "The Senate Page Program is a great opportunity for youth from Senate District 42 to receive a firsthand look at the legislative process. This is why I recommend students interested in seeing how our state works to participate."

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