Gear Up Week Kick Off at Lincoln
September 10-17 is National GEAR UP Week and an assembly kicked it off at Lincoln HS on Monday morning.
The featured speaker was Kile Snider, valedictorian from Lincoln’s class of 1984.
Snider was introduced by John Gilman, GEAR UP Iowa’s Project Coordinator and a classmate who remains a close friend. Snider recalled that when he was a high school junior he sang in the school’s choir, played football and worked a part-time job at Dahl’s in addition to his classwork. After graduation he studied engineering at Iowa State and later earned a Master’s Degree at Cal-Davis before launching a career in municipal wastewater purification that’s based now in Fort Collins, CO and has taken him as far around the world as Australia. Literally, Snider’s work makes the world a better place.
