Windham Christian Academy students, Paul Sanborn
and Caleb Hawley, served as honorary pages in the Maine Senate on March 3 as
guests of Sen. Bill Diamond of Windham.
The honorary page program gives students
an opportunity to participate in the process and interact with Legislators.
Honorary pages have the opportunity to see what it is like to work on the floor
of the senate and be part of a legislative session. Pages perform such duties
as delivering messages to senators and distributing amendments and supplements
in the chamber. Students from third grade through high school are invited to
serve in the senate chamber as honorary pages when the senate is in session.
For more information or to schedule a visit, call Sen. Diamond at (207)
287-1515.
