Her Turn as a Page

North Putnam Middle School seventh-grader Allison Staples recently served as an Indiana House page for District 44 State Rep. Jim Baird (R-Greencastle) during the current session of the Indiana General Assembly. The Indiana House of Representatives offers an opportunity for students age 13 to 18 to visit the Statehouse and experience a full day of legislative activity. Pages are able to see how the state legislature works firsthand in a behind-the-scenes tour. On session days, pages experience how a bill becomes a law as they watch legislators debate issues. Students also have the chance to tour the statehouse and observe floor sessions of the House, Senate and Supreme Court chambers.
