On Wednesday I was glad to welcome two local students to the Capitol to serve as House pages for the day.
Paige Miller is a sophomore at Iroquois West High School and Ainsley Urban is a junior at Watseka High School. Over the course of the day, they got to meet with members of the legislature, see the House of Representatives in action and explore our state Capitol building.
Paige is active in Iroquois West’s marching and jazz bands, and the concert, chamber and jazz choirs. She has a lead role in the school’s upcoming musical SpongeBob, and participates in scholastic bowl, track and golf.
Ainsley participates in FFA at Watseka, she also plays softball and golf, is a member of the National Honor Society. She is on the school’s math team and is active in Key Club and her church. It was great to have both students visit Springfield to see the House of Representatives this week!
