Olympia youth experiences
Legislature through page program
PAGE RELEASE
Brigidanne Brennan, a
student from St. Michael's School, served as a legislative page
for the House of Representatives last week. She was sponsored by
Rep. Richard
DeBolt,
R-Chehalis. Brennan, 14, is the daughter of Michael and
Cecilia Brennan
of Olympia.
It was a pleasure to have
Brigidanne here as a legislative page,"
DeBolt said. "Pages are provided a chance to share fun and
educational experiences with their peers while in Olympia. It gives
them a great opportunity to view the Legislature in action."
As a page, Brigidanne was
responsible for delivering messages and documents to legislators in
their offices, committee meetings and the House chamber during
legislative sessions. In addition, 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.
