AUGUSTA - Windham resident and Lisbon Falls Christian Academy student, Olivia Ground served as an Honorary Page in the Maine Senate on April 11, as the guest of Sen. Bill Diamond, D-Windham. Olivia had her picture taken with Sen. Diamond during a break in the Senate Session. Sen. Diamond extends invitations to honor roll students from the area’s middle and high schools as a way to recognize their strong academic performance and foster an interest in civics.
The Honorary Page Program gives students an opportunity
to participate in the Senate and interact with legislators. Honorary Pages 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. For more information or to
schedule a visit, call Sen. Diamond at: (207) 287-1515.
