Peter Cosacchi, a freshman at Kentwood High School in Covington, spent a week working as a page for the Washington State Senate at the Capitol in Olympia. Peter was one of 26 students who served as Senate pages for the seventh week of the 2016 legislative session.

He was sponsored by Sen. Joe Fain, who serves as Senate Majority floor leader and represents Auburn, Covington, Federal Way, Kent and Renton.

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 liked meeting all the people here, hanging out with the other pages, and I especially liked being in the page school,” said Cosacchi about some of his favorite parts of the Senate Page Program.

Cosacchi enjoys playing golf, video games, and learning about video production.

Cosacchi, 15, is the son of Peter and Deborah Cosacchi of Covington.
