AUGUSTA – Gardiner Regional Middle School student Lance Morgan served as an honorary page in the Maine Senate on March 16. Lance was the guest of Sen. Shenna Bellows, D-Manchester. Lance took a picture with Bellows before the start of the session.
The honorary page program gives students an opportunity to participate in the Senate and interact with legislators. Students 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 eligible to serve in the Senate Chamber, and should contact their local senator for more information.
