Roosevelt High School Student Ashley Long was recently selected to be one of three Legislative Pages in Olympia. The 15 year old was selected for the weeklong program that includes other 14-16 year olds. The page program began in 1891 and is considered an honor for students to get to be part of because it is sought after by students across the state.

Congrats to Ashley for this unique experience.
