When you have incredible @SMSDWiL seniors as your mentors at Dance Nationals, you earn a National Championship! These seniors have shown these future Women in Leadership minis what it means to be a strong, hard working woman on & off the stage! @SMEastLancers @SM_NORTH_HS

Thank you Senator @dinah_sykes for serving as a mentor to one of our amazing Leadership Council members of @SMSDWiL. Reese came back from spring break raving about everything she during her shadow experience.
