Sen. Chris Johnson of Somerville greeted the fourth grade classes from the Wiscasset Elementary School during their visit to the State House. The students had an opportunity to tour the House and Senate Chambers and learn more about the legislative process.

During their visit, the students were encouraged to return to the State House as honorary pages. The honorary page program gives students an opportunity to participate in the process and interact with Legislators. Honorary pages have the opportunity to see what it is like to work on the floor of the Senate and be part of a legislative session. Pages perform such duties as delivering messages to Senators and distributing amendments and supplements in the Chamber. Students from third grade through high school are invited to serve in the Senate Chamber as honorary pages when the Senate is in session.
