Snyder ISD is pleased to announce they have been awarded The Mentor Program Allotment (MPA). This allotment will allow the district to further develop and strengthen its beginning teacher mentoring program, ultimately benefiting students through increased teacher retention and effectiveness. We want to thank Kathy Scott, Director of Student Services, for her diligent work on this grant submission.
The MPA is a state initiative designed to help districts build or sustain mentoring programs for new teachers. These programs are grounded in research-based best practices and focus on improving student outcomes by supporting and retaining high-quality educators. Districts participating in the MPA commit to meeting rigorous requirements for mentors, district leaders, and campus leaders involved in the program. The MPA funds can be used for mentor stipends, release time for mentors and mentees, and high-quality mentor training.
Snyder ISD recognizes that providing comprehensive support and training for new teachers is a top priority. This MPA award will significantly enhance the district's ability to achieve this goal. The funding will allow Snyder ISD to provide its beginning teachers with the training and resources they need to thrive in the classroom and contribute to student success. The district is committed to fostering a supportive environment where new teachers can grow professionally and develop their skills, ensuring the best possible education for Snyder ISD students.

One of our favorite events of the year is the Retired Teachers Luncheon—an opportunity to celebrate and honor individuals who have dedicated their lives to education. Guests received a warm welcome and were treated to a special performance by the SHS Pride of the West Band. They enjoyed a delicious meal prepared by the SFE Food Services catering crew and were served by the SHS Student Council and NHS members. The SHS Floral Design classes created beautiful centerpieces and a special take-home arrangement for each guest, adding an extra touch to this meaningful gathering.
It’s always a wonderful time to reconnect, reminisce, and show appreciation for these incredible educators. Thank you to everyone who helped make this event memorable!

GO TIGERS!
Mr. Gillespie’s Honors World History class! As part of their studies on the Middle Ages and the feudal system, students are diving into the strategic world of chess. This classic game provides an engaging way to explore historical themes, as each piece and movement in chess reflects the roles and hierarchies within medieval society.
By playing chess, students gain a hands-on understanding of social structure, strategy, and decision-making – key components of the feudal system that shaped the Middle Ages. This activity not only reinforces historical concepts but also helps students develop critical thinking skills in a fun and challenging way.
At Snyder Primary School, our second-grade dual language classes have actively engaged with the democratic process! Over the past few weeks, students have been learning about voting to make choices and decisions, highlighting the importance of elections. Each class nominated two candidates for class president, and on Election Day, students presented their voter identification cards and cast their ballots.
We love seeing our educators bring fun and interactive lessons into the classroom, helping our students understand civic responsibility and the value of participating in elections!
