State Sen. Jim Buck (R-Kokomo) welcomed the following students to the Statehouse who served as Senate pages in February.

  • Elik Pahl, Carmel, is a homeschooled student
  • Blake Quakenbush, Cicero, is a homeschooled student
  • Bonnie Fairchild, Kokomo, attends Kokomo High School
  • Hannah Giles, Kokomo, attends Taylor High School
  • Adam Koch, Kokomo, attends St. Maria Goretti Catholic School

Pages spend a day at the Statehouse touring the historic building, observing debates from the Senate floor and interacting with their state senator.

“I am always thrilled to be able to meet these young Hoosiers and show them around the Statehouse,” Sen. Buck said. “It is a great joy to teach them about the legislative process and what it means to be a senator.”

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