Wenatchee High School
student serves as legislative page
Rachel A. Quick, a
10th-grader at Wenatchee High School, served as a page in the Washington
House of Representatives Feb. 13-18. Quick was sponsored by
Rep. Mike
Armstrong, R-Wenatchee.
As a page, Quick enjoyed
an inside look at the Legislature during a fast-paced week in the state
capital. Her duties included delivering messages and documents to
lawmakers in their offices, committee meetings, and the House chamber
during floor sessions.
Besides legislators, pages
are the only other individuals allowed on the floor of the House
chamber, giving them a unique opportunity to interact with their state
representative, lawmakers from around the state, and the House
leadership.
The work day for pages
begins at 7:45 a.m. and ends at 5:00 p.m., though pages may be asked to
work later if the House remains in session. Pages attend a daily
Legislative Page School, and also make time for their regular homework.
Quick, 16, is the daughter
of Cirri and David Quick of Wenatchee.
