• Chloe Boots, from Pendleton, attends Pendleton Elementary School-Intermediate.

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

“This program is a great opportunity for students across Indiana to get a hands-on look at how bills become law,” Eckerty said. “As always, I encourage those with an interest in government to participate in this rewarding experience.”

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