Max Grim, a student at Decatur High School, spent the last week as a page for the Washington State Senate at the Capitol in Olympia. Grim was one of 18 students who served as Senate pages for the second week of the 2015 legislative session.

The Senate Page Program is an opportunity for Washington students to spend a week working in the Legislature. Students are responsible for transporting documents between offices, as well as delivering messages and mail. Pages spend time in the Senate chamber and attend page school to learn about parliamentary procedure and the legislative process. Students also draft their own bills and engage in a mock session.

“I like running papers through legislative building,” Grim said. “I think the nicest building was the John A. Cherberg one.”

He added that he enjoyed the class hearing where pages presented their bills.

Grim was sponsored by Brad Hendrickson, deputy secretary of the Senate.

In addition to being on the baseball team at his school, Grim is also involved in the Eco Club. He likes long boarding with his friends and hopes to become a chef in the future.

Grim, 14, is the son of Jill and Scott Grim of Federal Way.
