Congratulations to our Bearcubs of the Week!
💻 Coding Club kicked off this week with Ms. Moss, and our students are officially on their coding journey! 🐻 We can't wait to see the creative projects they build as they practice curiosity, creativity, and perseverance. Thank you, Ms. Moss, for leading the way! 👏
Our Kleb Intermediate students competed in the MATHCOUNTS Competition, showing off their problem-solving skills, perseverance, and teamwork. 🐻 We're so proud of every Bearcub who took part! A huge thank-you to Ms. Ashraf and Mr. Nelson for sponsoring our Mathcounts club and supporting our students every step of the way. 👏
What a week at Kleb! Our students were hard at work in the classroom, and our student leaders stepped up to set a great example. Our band musicians kept the music going with evening practices, and our cheer team competed with plenty of Kleb spirit. A big thank-you to our parents for cheering us on every step of the way! Our 8th graders also teamed up with TAMU on interest mapping, a great first step as they prepare their 4-year high school plans. Way to go, Kleb! 🎉
This week's Staff Spotlight shines on Cecilia Hubbard, Kleb's 8th-grade counselor and campus lead counselor!
Ms. Hubbard is a true Spring-area native. She was born and raised in the area, attended Aldine, Spring, and Tomball schools, and graduated from Spring High School. She stayed close to home, and Kleb is lucky she did!
She earned her degree in communication studies, with a minor in education, from Sam Houston State University. She did her student teaching at Klein Collins and stayed on for her first teaching job. There she juggled multiple preps every year, including speech and debate, AVID, and communication applications. Credit recovery is where she found her calling though. She loved sitting down with students and helping them map out what comes after high school. That passion led her to a master's in counseling from Lamar University.
Her first counseling job was at Kleb Intermediate, and she was named lead counselor from day one. Now in year 9, she's still going strong!
What does she love most about education? The kids! Ms. Hubbard loves making connections with students and watching them grow into who they're meant to be.
Outside of school, Ms. Hubbard is always on the move. 🏃♀️ Her goal this year is to run a race every month, and she's training for her first 10K in November. Next year, she's aiming for two half marathons!
Ms. Hubbard also loves traveling, exploring new places, and chasing new adventures. She attends concerts all over, especially when a new album drops. Family time matters most to her. When she's relaxing, you'll likely find her building Lego flowers or watching a Marvel movie.
Thank you, Ms. Hubbard, for everything you do for our students and our campus!

Our third-year Kleb Theatre students performed A Midsummer Night's Dream! This interactive show included elements inspired by recent productions at The Globe, Bridge, and National Theatres in London. Mrs. Duty and Mrs. Richardson adapted Shakespeare's classic play for middle school audiences.
The performance was then reblocked for an outdoor show at Wunderlich Farms on Friday, November 6, as part of the "Klein ISD Middle School Day at the Farm." Students wrote peer reviews and interacted with high school Theatre students from their feeder schools, learning from them along the way. It was a great experience of fun, performing, and learning for our Theatre students. Bravo! 👏

This week's Staff Spotlight shines on one of our wonderful Spanish teachers, Ms. Pettersen!
With roots in Venezuela and Norway, Ms. Pettersen's story is as colorful as her passport! Born in Venezuela to a Norwegian dad and a Venezuelan mom, she began studying psychology there before pausing her studies to move to the U.S. After marrying, she poured her heart into raising her two wonderful sons, now 36 and 31. For many years she was a devoted stay-at-home mom, dedicating her life to her boys and her family.
Then came a bold new chapter. At 35, having never worked before, she went back to college to pursue a teaching degree. She attended Sam Houston State University and graduated with honors. At 40, she landed her first teaching job with Klein ISD. Sixteen years later, she's still going strong: 2 years at Klein Oak and 14 fantastic years right here at Kleb Intermediate! Her journey is proof that it's never too late to chase a dream.
Ms. Pettersen enjoyed teaching high school, but intermediate is where her heart truly lives. What she loves most is the relationships she builds with her students. She adores engaging with them, and their humor and spontaneous personalities keep every day interesting. To her, they are her babies.
Outside of school, Ms. Pettersen is a true world traveler. Traveling and family time are her favorite hobbies, and she's sailed on an incredible 38 cruises! Europe and the Caribbean are among her favorite places to explore, and she has loved visiting Italy, Greece, Croatia, and Spain. But Norway tops them all. It's her happy place, and she plans to retire there one day. Iceland is a favorite, too!
Back home, she's a proud cat mom to 3 cats. And her greatest blessings? Her two sons and her granddaughter, Isabella, who is 19 months old and the love of her life.
Thank you, Ms. Pettersen, for the heart, the dedication, and the adventures you bring to our Kleb family. We're so lucky to have you! 🌟

Congratulations to our Bearcubs of the Week!
This week's Staff Spotlight shines on Ms. Valencia Barrett, one of our new special education in-class support teachers who proves that sometimes the best paths in life are the ones we don't initially plan!
Coming from a family of educators (her mom was even a middle school teacher!), Ms. Barrett thought she'd break the mold and become a psychologist. Plot twist: she still ended up making a profound impact on kids' lives and connecting with them in meaningful ways, just through a different path! After earning her Biology degree with a minor in education from Huston-Tillotson University in Austin, Texas, Ms. Barrett embarked on an educational journey that became a beautiful adventure of discovery.
Ms. Barrett's career path has been delightfully winding! She student-taught 7th grade science, earned her master's from Grand Canyon University, and tried on different hats along the way: high school science teacher in Pflugerville, biology teacher in Austin, and substitute across multiple grade levels, as she searched for her true passion in education. But it was during her time tutoring K-12 students in math intervention, reading intervention, and "everything in between" that she found her true calling: helping students with their specific needs in small group settings. That lightbulb moment led her to pursue her special education certification, and we're so grateful it did!
Now in her 5th year of education, Ms. Barrett chose Klein ISD intentionally. She wanted to be closer to home AND work for one of the top districts in the state. She especially loves the AAA (Academics, Athletics, and Arts) we offer our students, showing her commitment to meeting learners exactly where they are.
When she's not changing lives in the classroom, you might find Ms. Barrett jet-setting on girls' trips with her mom to casinos across the country, paintings on canvas, or whipping up culinary masterpieces as she explores recipes from cultures around the world.
Ms. Barrett, thank you for bringing your passion, creativity, and heart to our students every single day. Your journey to special education wasn't a detour, it was destiny!
