This afternoon, Mayor Ducheneaux presented a proclamation declaring October 15th as White Cane Safety Day in Snyder. The proclamation was given to fourth-grade student Kerstin Culwell at the beginning of the City Council meeting.
Kerstin, her family, and her teachers are helping bring awareness to accessibility and visual impairment. Their efforts remind us that inclusion and understanding matter every day, not just on special occasions. For individuals who are blind or visually impaired, tools like the white cane represent independence, safety, and confidence as they navigate their world. Recognizing this helps build a community where everyone is empowered.
We invite everyone to join us for the White Cane Celebration Walk on Wednesday, October 15th at 2:00 p.m. at Snyder Intermediate School. Wear red, black, and white, the colors of the white cane, and help celebrate awareness, accessibility, and the achievements of people who are blind or visually impaired.

This past Saturday, the Snyder High School Speech and Debate team travelled to Abilene to compete at the Abilene High Key City Classic. Senior Xachariah Johnson placed first in Lincoln-Douglas Debate with an undefeated record. Xachariah has now gone undefeated at back-to-back tournaments. He has also qualified to compete at this year's Texas Forensics Association State Meet, scheduled for March. The team will compete again on October 11 at Monterey High School in Lubbock.
We are proud of all of our competitors. They represented Snyder well at this most recent tournament!

Families,
We want to make you aware of a minor incident involving Bus 15 this morning. While making a right turn onto 37th Street from El Paso, the bus clipped a vehicle in the drop-off line.
Primary and Intermediate students had already been dropped off and were not on the bus. All remaining students (junior high and high school) were safe and delivered to school on time and without issue.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we continue to prioritize student safety.

We’re proud to highlight the recent Snyder Tiger Youth Football Camp! Thanks to the parents, coaches, and players who came together to create an unforgettable experience for our young athletes. From drills and teamwork to snow cones and water sprays, it was a fun and memorable few days.
Special thanks to Flamingo Pinks for the Camper of the Day snow cone cards and to the Snyder Fire Department for helping the kids beat the heat. Great things are happening in Snyder, and it’s all because of the strong support from our community. View hundreds of photos here: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61564077300908

Today marked the kickoff of our TEA-approved Mentor Program! We’re proud to be one of the few districts in the state not only selected for this grant, but also locally approved to manage and implement the program.
Day one of training for our mentors is in the books, and we’re excited to welcome our mentees and new teachers tomorrow at New Teacher Orientation. It’s going to be a great year of growth, support, and connection!

This week, Snyder ISD campus and district leaders attended a statewide training to strengthen our P-TECH program. P-TECH stands for Pathways in Technology Early College High School. It’s a program that gives high school students the opportunity to earn college credit, industry certifications, and real-world work experience while still in high school.
Our goal is to make sure students graduate ready for college, a career, or both. At this training, our team learned new ways to improve the program, build strong partnerships with local businesses, and provide students with more opportunities to succeed after graduation.
We’re proud to invest in programs that help our students gain a head start on their future.
Tiger Football, SAVE THE DATE! It's almost time to pick up your equipment for the 2025 season.
