DeBolt sponsors Olympia teen
for page program
PAGE RELEASE
Mary Castrejon, a 15-year
old student at Olympia Christian School, recently served as a
legislative page in the House of Representatives. She was
sponsored by Rep. Richard DeBolt,
R-Chehalis. Castrejon is the daughter of
Vicente and Judy Castrejon.
"I was pleased to sponsor Mary as a legislative page," DeBolt
said. "It is important that our young adults experience the
Legislature in action and become involved in the legislative process. They are our
future community leaders."
As a page, Mary was
responsible for delivering messages and documents to legislators in
their offices, committee meetings and the House chamber during
legislative sessions. Students are also required to continue their
studies for two hours during the day.
To become a page,
applicants must have a legislative sponsor and be between the ages of 14
and 16. Additionally, pages are required to obtain written permission
from their parents and school.
