Olympia, Wash. – Washington State Senator Brad Hawkins was proud to sponsor Sage Reynolds, a freshman at Wenatchee High School, as a Senate Page for the opening week of the 2024 Legislative session.

Each year, the Washington State Senate welcomes students across the state to participate in the Senate Page Program. During the program, the students attend Page School, learn about the legislative process, assist senators in delivering correspondence, and present the colors to open Senate sessions.

Senator Hawkins said, “It was great to have Sage serve as a Page for the opening week. When we met on the first day of session, I quickly called her ‘Sage the Page’ and we had an instant connection.”

He added, “During the Senate floor session, we had a chance to spend time discussing the legislative process and bills being introduced. She is very kind and hardworking. I’m sure she will continue to succeed in both school and life.”

“Sage has exceptional attributes, noting her standout qualities in work ethic, creativity, and leadership,” Haley Cummins, Reynolds’ former teacher at Pinnacles Prep said. Cummins highlighted Sage’s penchant for seeking creative and innovative approaches to assignments, setting her apart as an exemplary student.

The Washington State Legislature boasts one of the nation’s premier page programs, offering hundreds of students from across Washington State a unique opportunity to actively engage in the legislative process and witness the Legislature and other branches of state government in action.

Pages are sponsored by legislators and undergo a week-long service during the legislative session, occurring January-April in odd-numbered years and January-March in even-numbered years.
