Leavenworth teen serves as page in Legislature
Hannah Hassinger, a
freshman at Cascade High School, Leavenworth, served as a page this week
in the House of Representatives. She was sponsored by
Rep. Mike
Armstrong, R-Wenatchee.
Paging presents students
with a unique educational opportunity to participate in the legislative
process. Page duties are varied. They range from ceremonial tasks such
as presenting the flags to operational chores like distributing
amendments during legislative sessions. Each job is vital to the
efficient operation of the Legislature.
To serve as a page, a student must have
permission from a parent or guardian and from his/her school; be
sponsored by a current member of the House of Representatives; and be at
least 14 years of age and not have reached his/her 17th birthday. Pages
spend a week in Olympia, usually living with a host family, and are paid
$35 for each day worked.
Hannah is the 14-year-old daughter of Mark
and T. Kelly Hassinger, Leavenworth.
