Jackson serves as page for Rep. Wooldridge

Adrianna Jackson, an eighth grade student at Rector High School and the daughter of Crystal and Justin Jackson, served as legislative page for Representative Jeremy Wooldridge on Tuesday, Feb. 25, at the State Capitol in Little Rock. She told that when her brother took a fifth grade field trip to the Capitol, she was able to go and saw the pages. She told her dad that she’d like to do that someday and he spoke with RES Principal Mark Manchester on her behalf. It was not difficult to submit her request to Rep. Wooldridge because of her work ethic and all-around good attitude and citizenship.
