Alexander Scott, 15, served as a page in the Washington State Senate during the week of January 24.<\/p>\n

Pages are typically sponsored by the senator from their legislative district. Sen. Steve Conway (D-Tacoma) sponsored Scott\u2019s week in the Legislature.<\/p>\n

The page program offers a hands-on opportunity for students to find out how state government works. The interactive learning experience includes classes focused on topics like budget writing and how a bill becomes a law, which culminates in pages creating their own bills in a mock committee setting. The educational experience is furthered by guest speakers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile I found working on the Senate floor interesting, I had the most fun in page school learning how a bill is created and doing the mock committee hearing,\u201d said Scott.<\/p>\n

Pages also can work on the Senate floor. Their maroon coats and credentials allow them access to all parts of the Capitol Campus.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmong other things the bipartisanship of the legislature has positively influenced me to become more interested in Public Service.\u201d added Scott.<\/p>\n

Scott is in 9th grade at Spanaway Lake High School. In his free time he enjoys JROTC.<\/p>\n
