Sara Juchems, a student at Thomas Jefferson High School, served as a page last week in the Washington State House of Representatives.
Sponsored by state Rep. Mia Gregerson (D-SeaTac), Juchems is the daughter of Susan Cooper and Alex Juchems of Auburn.
Pages perform a wide variety of responsibilities, from presenting the flags to distributing amendments on the House floor. In addition to contributing to the efficient operation of the Legislature, pages receive daily civics instruction, draft their own bills and participate in mock committee hearings.
