STATEHOUSE (Mar. 1, 2013) – State Sen. Jim Banks (R-Columbia City) recently welcomed the following students to the Statehouse to serve as Senate pages:

• Paul Cochran, from Columbia City, attends Most Precious Blood School.
• Rebecca Cochran, from Columbia City, attends Most Precious Blood School.
• Samuel Daugherty, from Huntington, attends Riverview Middle School.
• Zachary Daugherty, from Huntington, attends Riverview Jr.-Sr. High School.
• Taylor Eberly, from South Whitley, attends Whitko High School.
• Paige Gordon, from Huntington, attends Riverview Middle School.
• Hannah Griffith, from Wabash, attends Northfield Jr.-Sr. High School.
• Katherine Land, a homeschool student from Huntington.
• Aaron Webb, from Huntington, attends Huntington North High School.

Pages spend a day at the Statehouse, touring the historic building, observing debates from the chamber floor and interacting with their state senators.

“It’s always great to see so many students from our district participate in the page program,” Banks said. “My hope is that more will take advantage of this rewarding opportunity to learn about their state government outside of the classroom.”

Students in grades six through 12 can participate in the page program on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays through April 4.
