Tenino teen serves as
legislative page
Landon Grondel, a
10th-grader at New Market Skills Center served as a page in the
Washington House of Representatives Jan 9-13. Grondel was sponsored by
Rep. Richard DeBolt, R-Chehalis. Grondel, 15, is the son of Rebecca and
Darrin Grondel of Tenino.
As a page, Grondel enjoyed an inside look at the Legislature during a
fast-paced week in the state capital. His 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.
