CONTRIBUTED PHOTOS Mary Kate Gruening and Abbey Weldon of Marshalltown are serving as legislative pages for the 89th General Assembly.
The halls of the Iowa Capitol are crawling with Bobcats.
Marshalltown High School sent two students to the Capitol as legislative pages for the 89th General Assembly. Senior Mary Kate Gruening is working in the Legislative Services Agency and recent graduate Abbey Welden serves as an assistant in the House of Representatives.
There are 28 pages this session 14 in the House, 10 in the Senate and four in the LSA.
Both students applied and were selected for page positions in the fall. They each highlighted a field trip to the Capitol they took in eighth grade as an experience which pushed them to pursue this opportunity.
