Jessica Dahl, 14, spent the week of Jan. 9 serving as a page for <\/span>the Washington State Senate. Sen. June Robinson (D-Everett) sponsored her week in the Legislature.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/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 a mock committee setting where pages hold hearings on bills they have created. The educational experience is furthered by guest speakers.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI just wanted to learn more about the government, and it seemed like a good learning experience for that,\u201d Dahl said. \u201cI\u2019ve learned about how to write a bill, and the differences between the Senate and the House.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dahl served as a page during the Legislature\u2019s first week in session and has been able to witness many of the opening ceremonies.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was really cool seeing everyone get sworn in, and to see all the ambassadors… and all the special ceremonies,\u201d she said. \u201cIt’s been a really neat experience so far.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d recommend this to anyone who wants to learn more about the government and how the state Capitol works,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s been a really nice experience for me. Everyone\u2019s extremely nice. It\u2019s been nice to meet all the senators and see how our local government works.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sen. Robinson said Dahl was \u201can absolute pleasure to have around the office.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dahl is currently homeschooled in the 9th grade. In her free time, she enjoys playing the violin and swimming.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
