Anacortes student pages for Rep. Norma
Smith
Students ages 14-16 are
eligible to take part in the week-long program in Olympia
Riley Ochs, an 8th-grader at Anacortes Middle School, served as
a legislative page in the House of Representatives in Olympia the week
of Jan. 19. He was hosted by
Rep.
Norma Smith, R-Clinton.
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
