With a goal to release each child back to their respective classrooms as functioning learners, she is gratified to have contributed to their success for six consecutive years. Moreover, she is proud to have mentored aid to new teachers, as well as teachers who were in need of necessary classroom supplies. Through the fundraising efforts of her Chapter Beta. Psi chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma Kappa Ms. Snider was able to establish programs in support of young students with behavioral issues, secured classroom items for her colleagues who otherwise not have had the opportunity to receive assistance, and fund scholarships for aspiring teachers.
