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.
Snyder ISD is now accepting referrals for students who may need Gifted/Talented Services for the school year. This program is designed for students who exhibit intellectual and creative thinking abilities at an extraordinary level not normally served in the regular classroom. Services are provided only upon identification of education needs of the student. Anyone wishing to refer a student attending Snyder ISD in kindergarten through twelfth grade this school year is asked to visit or go by the student’s campus office to request a copy of the referral form.
This form must be returned to the school by December 2, 2024. Those unable to go by the school should call the campus to request a form be sent to them.
Reminder!

Shoutout to Snyder Intermediate STEAM Club!
Our Transportation Department partnered with the STEAM Club students to create new bus numbers for the front bumpers of all our school buses. They carefully measured and designed the numbers to be the appropriate size and style, then used the equipment in the STEAM lab to cut the vinyl letters. Now, whenever they spot the buses driving around town, they can proudly say, "I made that!"
Let’s celebrate these young designers!
