Sponsored by 35th District Rep. Drew MacEwen, 14-year-old Olympia student Maggie Farr made the short trip to the Capitol earlier this month to serve as a page in the Washington State House of Representatives.

Maggie enjoys drawing, painting and doing aerial arts, as well as being involved in drama and plays. During her week at the Capitol, she attended page school every day, delivered messages and documents to legislators and staff, and fulfilled other tasks critical to the efficient operation of the Legislature.

“The House Page Program provides such a great opportunity for our young people to get involved and learn more about how state government works,” said MacEwen, R-Union. “I hope Maggie had a great time during her week here at the Capitol. I’m grateful for her service, and wish her the very best going forward.”

To become a page, applicants must have a legislative sponsor, be between the ages of 14 and 16, and obtain written permission from their parents and school. Pages earn $35 per day while serving in the program. For more information about the House Page Program, click here.
