Oak Harbor student pages for Rep. Norma
Smith
Students ages 14-16 are
eligible to take part in the week-long program in Olympia
Anna Kiesel, an 11th-grader at Bible Baptist School, served as
a legislative page in the House of Representatives in Olympia the week
of Feb. 9. She was hosted by
Rep.
Norma Smith, R-Clinton.
"I’m
so glad Anna had the opportunity to come down to Olympia and page this
week,” said Smith. “She is an
intelligent young woman, and I wish her the best in her future endeavors
as she pursues her interests in engineering and the Aerospace industry."
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
