Middle and high school students are invited to make the Indiana Statehouse their "classroom for a day" by serving as Senate pages during the 2010 Indiana General Assembly.
Sen. Dennis Kruse (R-Auburn) said throughout the day, pages spend time in the Senate Chamber observing the introduction of bills, listening to debates and delivering important messages among senators and staff.
Sen. Tom Wyss (R-Fort Wayne) said interested students should submit page requests in a letter or e-mail. The student's name - as it would appear on a certificate - address, home telephone number, age and school affiliation should be included with the request. Friends wanting to page on the same day should send requests together. Specific date requests will be considered, but may not be possible. The Senate's page office will confirm the scheduled date after processing incoming requests.
To be a page, e-mail requests to your senator:
Sen. David Long (R)
Sen. Dennis Kruse (R)
Sen. Tom Wyss (R)
Participating as a page is an excused absence from school. Pages must arrive at the Statehouse by 8:30 a.m. Parents are responsible for transportation and student pages are responsible for their own lunches, which can be economically priced at the Government Center Cafeteria, Circle Centre Mall or one of the many downtown restaurants.
For additional information, call 1-800-382-9467.
