STATEHOUSE (April 4, 2022) – State Rep. Ben Smaltz (R-Auburn) recently welcomed local students Carter Norrick and Olivia Rigby to the Statehouse where they participated in the Indiana House Page Program.
Norrick, a senior, and Rigby, a junior, both attend DeKalb High School. According to Smaltz, the students toured offices of all branches of government in the Statehouse, helped staff with daily responsibilities and joined him on the House floor to witness the legislative process. The page program operates during the legislative session, which wrapped up on March 9.
"Working alongside state legislators is a great opportunity for these young students to learn about their state government," Smaltz said. "Carter and Olivia both worked hard that day and were eager to help where needed. It was exciting to welcome them to the Statehouse."
Smaltz said students between the ages of 13 and 18 should consider participating during the 2023 session.
