AUGUSTA —Windham
Middle School student, Hayleigh Moody, served as an Honorary Page in the Maine
Senate on June 5 as the guest of Sen. Bill Diamond, D-Windham. Hayleigh took a
picture with Sen. Diamond after 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 to 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.
