Last Thursday, State Representative Bradley Fritts (R-Dixon) welcomed three pages from Northbrook Middle School to Springfield.
Briza Cervantes, Addison Perryman, and Brooklyn Baxa were all honored on the House floor and were able to experience the life and duties of a State Representative. They also witnessed the representatives in action as they held session on the House floor.
“The Page for a Day program is a really great chance for young students to get involved in state government,” said Rep. Fritts. “Civic engagement is vital for children of all ages and this program keeps kids engaged in the government. It was an honor to host all three pages in Springfield and I look forward to hosting more students who have a passion for government.”
The video on Youtube is 1:41 in length. Congratulations students!
