Join us Tuesday for Snyder High's Winter Wonders! Enter through auditorium doors and follow the path of snowflakes to the library. The reception will be from 5-7pm January 23rd.
Stay for a while or pop in between basketball games. Come support your local young artists and vote for your favorite pieces!
Partner work in the Pre-K Dual Language class is very important. Students are working on sequencing the nursery rhyme Hey Diddle Diddle.
Mrs.Thamez’s first-grade class has been learning about adjectives. They practiced describing their classmates using bucket-filling adjectives written on sticky notes! How can you fill someone's bucket today?
Cold weather calls for indoor recess in Mrs. Solis' classroom!
We want to inform you of an incident at Snyder Intermediate School today. A teacher found what was initially thought to be a gun in a student’s desk. The teacher contacted the School Resource Officer and an administrator, who investigated the situation immediately. After examination, it was found to be a toy gun. No students were in danger and no threats were made.
While we are relieved this was not a real firearm, it serves as an important reminder of the times we live in. Toy guns can look real. Not only can they cause panic, they can put the person holding the “toy” in danger if it is perceived to be a real firearm.
We take all safety concerns seriously and will respond swiftly. Being vigilant and keeping communication lines open will help keep our schools safe.
Congratulations to the newly “tapped” students for the SJH National Junior Honor Society! Selection was based on academic standing and careful consideration of each child's commitment to scholarship, service, leadership, character, and ctizenship.
The Iron Tigers had a successful meet in Colorado City this past weekend. Overall, the boys team won 1st place! Great job everyone!

Coach Johnson, Head Powerlifting for SHS, said, "Many personal records were set. This team is the only one that reports at 5:15 am twice a week, even in the dark and cold and is asked to train again at 4 pm after school without complaining. We are the "Strongest" team at SHS, both mentally and physically. We are the Iron Tigers!"
What do some teachers think about the MAP test? Mrs. Lewis, a 5th-grade teacher at Snyder Intermediate School, said, "The MAP test is a wonderful tool because it helps the teacher know exactly where the student is struggling. The test adapts to the student, so if the student gets a question incorrect, the questions will change to that student's reading level. If a student gets a question correct, the questions will become more difficult, thus challenging the student."
MAP results tell teachers what skills students already know, what skills they are ready to master, and what skills they’re ready to start learning. Since the MAP test has been given for several years, it also helps evaluate growth over time.

MAP testing is this week throughout the district. You've heard about it, but what does MAP testing look like? Here's a peek into a first grade classroom and some comments from Mrs. Thamez. "We discussed our goal for the test and why it’s important to do our best, before we began." Since this is an adaptive test, it adjusts to each student's individualized goals. Mrs. Thamez continued, "Every student that meets their goal will get to eat in the classroom with me!"
Mrs. Leija's Dual-language students paired up to read, reflect, and write about the contributions Martin Luther King Jr. made to our society. In the dual language program, students often work in pairs, each using a different colored pencil to show their work and formulate responses in both English and Spanish.
District play continues at HOME for the Tigers! See you in the stands!

Last week, we celebrated Ava Aviles' decision to continue her education and athletic career at Howard Payne University. Here is what Coach Cummings had to say at the ceremony, "Ava is a 4-year Varsity Starter for the Snyder Lady Tigers Softball Program. Her passion for the sport of softball is undeniable not only in her dedication to her own performance, but also in her desire to teach, coach, and encourage those around her, especially the young girls involved in the Snyder Fastpitch League. Even when she’s not in season, she’s often found at the softball fields volunteering during fastpitch league or coaching the next generation on pitching and all things softball. Ava is a disciplined leader and a talented player who continues to work on her own personal development by attending camps, workshops, and working with various coaches on different aspects of her game. I say all of this not just to brag on what Ava does outside of the Lady Tigers softball program, but to show all of you here what it takes to be an elite player of the Lady Tigers, of the Snyder league, of our district, and within our region. The achievements that Ava has stacked up over the years did not come easily. They took a lot of focus, dedication, and determination on her part. She sacrificed free time to put in the work and Ava, I am so proud of you and your work ethic."
Congratulations Ava!
