(Indianapolis, IN) - Two local students who served as Senate pages at the Statehouse last month were recognized for their efforts by Indiana State Senator Mike Bohacek of Michiana Shores.

 

Theodore Clingenpeel is a home schooled student from Walkerton.

 

Chase Collins is a student at La Porte 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 offers an immersive experience allowing Hoosier students to learn about state government," Bohacek said.

 

Students in grades 6 through 12 participate in the page program on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays during the legislative session.  Groups serve on Wednesdays.

 

"This is a valuable experience, especially for students like Theodore and Chase who dedicated time to make the drive down to Indianapolis to witness the legislative process," Bohacek said.
