State Senator Brian Buchanan, who serves Lebanon and the surrounding area, welcomed local Boone County students, as well as students from the surrounding area, to the Statehouse who served as Senate pages in January and February.
Buchanan welcomed the following students:
Andrew Badertscher, from Crawfordsville, attends Southmont Junior High School
Harper Baratta, from Whitestown, attends Zionsville West Middle School
Hudson Beach, from Crawfordsville, attends Southmont Junior High School
Connor Harrity, from Brownsburg, attends St. Malachy Catholic School
Amelia Hillger, from Thorntown, attends Western Boone High School
Brawn Puckett, from Advance, attends Western Boone High School
Pages spend a day at the Statehouse touring the historic building, observing debates from the Senate floor and interacting with their state senator.
“The Senate Page Program provides a deeper understanding of state government for young Hoosiers,” Buchanan said. “It gives our future leaders an important connection to their legislature that goes beyond the classroom, and I always enjoy meeting the students who participate.”
Students in grades six through 12 participate in the page program on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays during the legislative session. Groups serve on Wednesdays.
