ATLANTA (January 15, 2010) – State Senator Mitch Seabaugh (R-Sharpsburg) will host his annual Page Day at the Capitol on Wednesday, February 10, 2010. Students serving as pages will assist in the Senate Chamber and enjoy lunch with Sen. Seabaugh.
“I encourage students, particularly those interested in civics and government, to take advantage of this excellent opportunity to experience the legislative process first-hand,” Sen. Seabaugh said. “This is a chance for students to experience American politics and watch the state legislature work.”
Pages are granted access to the Senate Chamber for the day and are responsible for delivering messages to the senators on the floor. They may also be called on by senators to run special errands. Each page is sponsored by their local senator. They will receive a certificate and $10 honorarium and are scheduled to have their pictures taken with Lt. Governor Cagle and Sen. Seabaugh.
Parents and teachers who would like to nominate students to serve as pages should contact Sen. Seabaugh’s office at 404-656-6446. Students must be 12 years of age or older. The day will count as an excused absence from school. Please submit any page requests as soon as possible. There are six slots remaining this year and students will be considered on a first come, first serve basis.
