State Sen. Janice Bowling (R-Tullahoma) has invited local students in grades 6-12 in the 16th Senate District to experience the legislature in action as a page. 
Bowling said page duties consist of anything from making copies, and running errands within the Capitol building, to distributing legislative information to members of the General Assembly.  The student pages report to the Chief Clerk of the House and Senate.
“This is the best civics lesson I can imagine,” said Bowling. “Student pages are right there with us on the Senate floor. They get a unique front-row view of the lawmaking process.”
Students wishing to be considered as a Senate page can contact Sen. Bowling online at sen.janice.bowling@capitol.tn.gov. They can also call her office toll free at 1-800 449-TENN ext. 16694. The pages will also receive a tour of the capitol. Parents or teachers are invited to attend with their child or student.
“We will certainly take care of as many requests for pages as we can before the General Assembly adjourns,” said Bowling. “I look forward to sponsoring many local students in our state Senate.”
Bowling represents Coffee, Franklin, Grundy, Marion, Sequatchie, Van Buren and Warren counties in Senate District 16.
