Be a Page in the Virginia General Assembly
This long-running (since 1847) and popular program for Virginia youth (ages 13- and 14-years old) is held each winter at the historic Virginia State Capitol and General Assembly Building in Richmond, Virginia. The House Page Program equips students for actively engaged citizenship, focuses on the lawmaking process, and benefits participants (and our democracy) by strengthening leadership traits and developing workplace skills. A successful candidate possesses drive and self-initiative, is committed to listening to and working with others, and clearly demonstrates a positive attitude in all activities
On a typical workday (8:30 AM - 5:00 PM) each week, Page work assignments include delivering documents to officials throughout the Capitol, General Assembly Building and around Capitol Square; performing office errands on behalf of House Members and the Clerk’s Office; working in various staff sections within the Clerk’s Office; and completing an array of needed tasks to ensure the smooth running of daily House committee meetings and Floor sessions in the House Chamber in the Capitol. Pages are trained for these duties and responsibilities during their employment before Session starts.
Following the workday, Pages have two hours of “free time” (5:00 PM - 7:00 PM) reserved for eating dinner at nearby restaurants or ordering from delivery services. A mandatory evening Study Hall is held at the hotel Monday through Thursday from 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM. During this time, certified teachers supervise the Pages and assist them, as needed, but these educators do not provide classroom instruction and do not administer or proctor testing. Prior to starting as a House Page and during its duration (7 weeks in odd-numbered years; 9 weeks in even-numbered years), Pages and their parents are responsible for arranging with their schools and teachers the preferred method of submitting completed school assignments and exams during this extended / excused absence. While at their daily work assignments, Pages remain under the supervision of the Page Program Coordinators and monitored by the Page Program Chaperones during evening hotel stays.
Apply by October 16.

Jefferson Madison Regional Library for Teens
College professors at top tier universities are worried--because very few high school graduates are reading books independently (outside of school). They find themselves overwhelmed by the reading lists assigned by colleges and unprepared to keep up with the pace of learning. And these are at the top tier institutions of learning!
Did you know that reading can improve your writing as well as expand your vocabulary? WIN. Reading transports you into the story of someone else, which builds empathy and the ability to appreciate others' points of view. Heck, a great read, it can change your worldview.
Reading grows your brain, cognitively, in ways we don't yet fully understand (but appreciate nonetheless). It can destress you and reduce anxiety. It can improve your focus and attention. Reading groups (like the ones at your local public library) can connect you with other teens. If I could choose one thing that my students do to expand their minds--it would be reading. A lot. Daily. Be a reader.
Includes Book Clubs, Teen Advisory Board and more! What's your reading goal this year? Get to know your local library system--Jefferson Madison Regional Library. They are FREE and OPEN to the public. Ms. Newman is a reader--I am ALWAYS reading!

The Coolidge Scholarship is an annually awarded, full-ride, presidential scholarship that covers a student’s tuition, room, board, and expenses for four years of undergraduate study. The Coolidge may be used by recipients at any accredited college or university in the United States. Anyone of any background, pursuing any academic discipline of study, may apply to this non-partisan, need-blind, program.
Students apply for the Coolidge Scholarship during their junior year of high school. Finalists are flown in for a finalist weekend at the Coolidge Historic Site in Plymouth Notch, Vermont where they interview with the Coolidge Scholars Finalist Jury. Recipients of the Coolidge Scholarship are notified of their award late in their junior year, before college application (note: current high school seniors are not eligible to apply). Finalists who are not named Coolidge Scholars are eligible to receive a smaller, one-time, college scholarship.
Calvin Coolidge worked hard in academics; the young New Englander’s only sport was public speaking, often on public policy.

Secondary criteria include: demonstrated interest in public policy; an appreciation for the values Coolidge championed; as well as humility and service.
