Snyder High School Campus Spotlight: Texas Association of Future Educators (TAFE)
Each month, at the Snyder ISD Board of Trustees meeting, a different campus is invited to share the excellent learning experiences happening across Snyder ISD. This month, SHS students proudly shared how TAFE is helping them explore the teaching profession, build leadership skills, and prepare for future careers in education.

During their presentation, students shared that TAFE is a student organization designed to introduce and inspire future educators. Snyder High School recently competed at the Area 7 Conference on November 18, where twelve teams advanced to the Teach Tomorrow Summit and State competition. The Teach Tomorrow Summit will be held in Dallas on February 26–28, and these students are preparing to represent Snyder ISD on a statewide stage. The presentation also recognized the many state-qualifying events and students, ranging from lesson planning and educational leadership to children’s literature and interactive bulletin boards.

Their presentation left us excited and inspired about the future of education!

Snyder High School recently competed in a UIL Academics meet in Midland. Our students earned top team finishes and strong individual results, showing the depth of talent and dedication across our academic programs. Even better, there is still room for a few more students to jump in. If you know a student who might be interested in UIL Academics, encourage them to reach out to Mr. Jaimes or Mr. Gillespie to learn more.

Snyder High School’s Growth and Human Development classes are getting hands on with real world learning. Students recently practiced swaddling and changing diapers, building practical skills while gaining a better understanding of infant care. This course focuses on human development from infancy through adulthood studying physical, emotional, and social growth. Lessons connect classroom learning to everyday life, helping students develop skills and awareness they will carry beyond high school.

We are excited to welcome Tiffany Gonzales back to Snyder ISD to teach Spanish at Snyder Junior High! There is something special about coming full circle, and we are proud to have Tiffany returning to the community that helped shape her.

Ms. Gonzales is a bilingual educator who earned her associate degree from Western Texas College and her bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Social Work at Texas Tech University. Her academic background reflects a strong foundation in communication and child development, and a love of learning.

As a first-year teacher, Ms. Gonzales brings fresh energy, a deep connection to Snyder, and a heart for working with children and families. We are excited to support her as she begins this new chapter and grows as an educator.

Please join us in welcoming Ms. Gonzales back to the Tiger Family.

We are excited to welcome Mrs. Megan Fellows to Snyder ISD! Mrs. Fellows will be serving as the 7th-grade English teacher at Snyder Junior High School, and we are glad to have her join our team. Mrs. Fellows holds a Bachelor’s degree in Education from the University of Minnesota and brings nearly a decade of experience teaching across elementary and middle school classrooms.

Mrs. Fellows has taught reading, ELAR, social studies, math, and science in multiple districts across Texas. She has a strong background in TEKS-aligned instruction, STAAR preparation, and differentiated learning to meet student needs. Her experience also includes leadership and service through PBIS, campus committees, mentoring, and instructional planning.

With her experience, positive attitude, and desire to make a difference in students' lives, we are confident she will be a wonderful addition to the Snyder Junior High team.

Please join us in welcoming Mrs. Fellows and her family to the Tiger family!

The future of the Lady Tigers is bright. We loved celebrating our Little Dribblers before the game and watching the next generation take the spotlight for a moment.

January is School Board Recognition Month, and we are grateful for the Snyder ISD Board of Trustees who serve our district and our community.

Many may not realize that members of the Board of Trustees are elected community volunteers. They serve without compensation and give their time to study complex issues, ask hard questions, and make decisions that shape the experiences of students and staff across Snyder ISD.

We appreciate their commitment to public education, their willingness to listen, and their steady focus on doing what is best for kids.

Thank you for serving Snyder ISD and for believing in the promise of public education.

Snyder ISD welcomed the holiday season with style at the Lighted Christmas Parade, and we were proud to see over 150 Tigers participating on various floats!

🏆 A special congratulations goes to the Snyder ISD Staff and Family float for winning second place. Several hardworking and talented volunteers, along with all of our enthusiastic participants, brought the vision to life!

Preparation for this year’s Scurry County Stock Show is underway, and the Scurry Stars division made a trip to the Ag Barn to meet the animals. Each year, as part of the Scurry Stars program, a group of Snyder High School students is paired with more experienced exhibitors, creating a supportive, hands-on introduction to showing livestock. A few were nervous at first, but they quickly warmed up and were eager to feed and pet the animals. The goal is to build confidence, expand knowledge around animal care, and strengthen relationships and interpersonal skills. Students will learn to show chickens, goats, lambs, and pigs, and in January, these Scurry Stars will be stepping into the ring. ⭐️

We’re proud to celebrate our Snyder High School second six weeks Perfect Attendance Drawing winners. Each winner received a $200 Amazon voucher to put toward a brand new pair of shoes of their choice. A simple reward for a powerful habit. Showing up matters. • Kimberlynn Groage • Lilly Jaramillo • Deyami Bustos • Colten Kincaid Every day counts!

In Coach Connell’s 6th grade science class, students explored planets and their internal structure through a hands-on lab. They created their own planets using different colors of Play-Doh, then sliced them open to reveal the layers inside!

A simple visit in Mrs. Ramirez’s class turned into a moment worth highlighting. Snyder Primary School Assistant Principal Andrew McCormick stopped by while students were discussing what they were thankful for. When they asked him the same question, he shared that he is thankful for each of them!

These photos show the impact that simple gratitude and encouraging words can have. We are grateful for our Tiger Family!

Snyder Junior High School donated 728 non-perishable items today to our local food cupboard. Students from NJHS and STUCO coordinated the efforts and helped deliver the items in person, demonstrating what it looks like when leadership and service come together for a good cause.
