Cashmere student pages for Rep. Cary Condotta
Students ages 14-16 are eligible take part in the week-long program in Olympia

Alina Cibicki, who attends Cashmere High School, served as a legislative page in the House of Representatives in Olympia the week of Jan. 26. Alina plays volleyball and is an avid swimmer. She was hosted by Rep. Cary Condotta, R-East Wenatchee.

Each year, students from around the state apply to participate in the legislative page program. Students spend a week attending page school, learning the inner workings of state government and assisting legislators on the House floor. Pages earn $35 per day while serving in the program.

To become a page applicants must have a legislative sponsor, be between the ages of 14 and 16, and obtain written permission from their parents and school. For more information about the legislative page program, visit: http://www.leg.wa.gov/House/Pages/HousePageProgram.aspx
