The SM East chapter of Women in Leadership is allowing juniors to be on the leadership council for the first time this year, a new change from the all-senior council in the past. Juniors Vada Walsh and Tori Roland were selected for the council alongside four other seniors. WIL is an organization offered at all SMSD high schools that provides opportunities for girls in any grade level to gain confidence and develop leadership skills with their peers. The leadership council is a select group responsible for organizing and planning the meetings. The first one took place on Oct. 23.  Building sponsor for WIL Kelsi Horner saw that other schools had juniors on their leadership council. Horner decided to let juniors apply for the leadership council to keep up with what the other schools’ programs were doing and to help create a smooth transition from council to council each year.
