Pages spend a day at the Statehouse touring the historic building, observing debates from the Senate floor and interacting with their state senator.
"I always appreciate meeting with students from Senate District 47," Byrne said. "It's rewarding to teach young Hoosiers how the legislative process works, and I recommend the Senate Page Program to any student with even a small interest in state government."
Students in grades six through 12 participate in the page program on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays during the legislative session. Groups serve on Wednesdays.
