Well, maybe not quite yet, but being a page when we are 12 does sound exciting! Today, the third grade classes from The Heiskell School toured the state capitol building. We learned so many interesting things about the building itself and the way the law in our state works. During our tour, we were able to visit the gallery of the House of Representatives, and even more exciting than that we were invited to go on the actual floor of the Senate chambers! As if that was not enough excitement for one morning, Senator George Hooks from Plains, Georgia, came out of his office to say hello to the students. His hometown should sound quite familiar, as he shares it with another famous Georgian, former President Jimmy Carter! Here are some pictures from our big day at the capitol.
