A day at the Statehouse

Several area students recently served in the Indiana House Page Program during the 2009 session of the Indiana General Assembly. As a page, students 13 years and older spend the day gaining a greater understanding about state government and how laws are made. Pictured are (front, from left) Micayla Jones, Madison Carnes, Bethany Kiger, Katie Welch, Brooke Matthews, Zach Collisi, (back) Jake Montgomery, Michael Herrmann, Braydon Montgomery, State Rep. Nancy Michael, Christopher Poore, Garrett Plessinger, and Aaron Warren. All students pictured are seventh- or eighth-graders at North Putnam Middle School.
