This week, our campus buzzed with purposeful learning, thoughtful planning, and a spirit of thankfulness. Teachers and students engaged in meaningful lessons while grade‑level teams focused on planning to help our 8th graders prepare for their high school pathways. We’re grateful for the collaboration of staff, the enthusiasm of students, and the support of families as we guide students toward their next steps. Thank you to everyone who contributed to a productive and thankful week!

Congratulations to our Bearcubs of the Week!

This week’s staff spotlight shines on Angela Novacek. Angela has worked in education for nine years and currently serves our students in the Special Education BASE program. Calm and steady in every situation, she’s always there when you need her, a dependable presence for both students and colleagues. Before entering education, Angela worked in the travel industry. She joined the field of education to inspire students to love learning and to help them grow into better people. Angela brings creativity and warmth to the classroom, building trusting relationships and designing lessons that meet each student where they are.

She is a proud mom to two amazing children and two spoiled cats! In her free time, she enjoys music, history, cultural documentaries, audiobooks, musical theatre, and riding bikes with her family.

Thank you, Angela, for your dedication, steady leadership, and the joy you bring to our school community.

This Veterans Day we proudly recognize and thank all teachers, staff, and veterans in our school community who have served in the military. Your dedication to our country and your continued service in our school enrich students’ lives and strengthen our community.

This week’s Staff Spotlight shines on Ruby Morales, our warm and welcoming attendance secretary. You’ll often see her smiling face to the left as you enter the front office. Ruby has worked in education since 2019 while attending college to become a middle school teacher, and she will graduate in May. This is her first year as an attendance clerk, and she’s jumped into the role with enthusiasm, always ready to help families and support students.

Originally from the El Paso area, Ruby moved here this year and has quickly become a familiar presence at school events — especially our sports games. She’s an avid football fan who loves cheering for UT and the Denver Broncos, and you’ll often spot her in the stands supporting her favorite teams. Outside of school she enjoys reading, is a big Ariana Grande fan, and loves visiting Disneyland whenever she can. Ruby is happily married and shares her home with two beloved pet “babies,” a dog and a cat.

We’re grateful for her positive energy and dedication — stop by to say hello and wish her luck as she finishes her degree this spring!

Our fall band concert was a wonderful celebration of music and community spirit! Students showcased their hard work and talent with lively performances that filled the cafeteria with energy and joy.

We proudly celebrated our Quarter 1 Honor Roll students who earned all A's, all A's with one B, and all A's with two B's. These outstanding students were treated to a delicious snack generously donated by our amazing PTO and received a special celebratory bracelet. Each student also received a second bracelet to pay it forward by giving it to an adult who makes a positive difference in their lives. #KlebProud #ExcellenceInAll #GoBearcubs #HonorRoll #KleinFamily

This week, we are excited to shine the spotlight on Mr. Omar Garcia, who joined Klein ISD this year to pilot the innovative two-way dual language program for 6th grade. As one of only two intermediate schools in Klein offering this unique opportunity, Mr. Garcia teaches Spanish Language Arts and Social Studies with great passion and energy.

With 10 years of teaching experience, Mr. Garcia’s journey to education was inspired by his love for learning and community. Before becoming a teacher, he worked as a territory manager in Houston for a nationwide company. Growing up in a bilingual household, he was a simultaneous learner of both Spanish and English, which fuels his dedication to dual language education.

Known for his dynamic teaching style, Mr. Garcia is also leading our first-ever Kleb Spanish Spelling Bee, encouraging students to challenge themselves and celebrate their language skills.

Outside the classroom, Mr. Garcia is a music lover and a big fan of U2. He enjoys reading, watching sports, and traveling—both internationally and across the US in his impressive 44-foot fifth wheel RV. From never towing a thing to mastering RV life, he embraces adventure with enthusiasm. He is also a proud father to a 17-year-old son, who he cheers on as his biggest fan. And, of course, he loves dogs!

We are thrilled to have Mr. Garcia as part of our Klein family, inspiring students every day with his passion and dedication.

This week's staff spotlight is on David Knobloch, who is celebrating his 19th year in education. Although it’s only his second year as an English teacher, Mr. Knobloch is already making a dynamic impact! He brings high-level rigor to his classroom and continuously participates in professional learning opportunities, always finding creative ways to incorporate new skills and activities into his lessons.

Outside of teaching, Mr. Knobloch is a dedicated dad who coaches his kids in baseball and tennis. He loves to golf whenever time allows and is an avid New England Patriots fan. When it comes to vacations, Las Vegas is his top destination. Thanks to Ms. Ashraf, Mr. Knobloch has found a new passion for Pickleball too!

Congratulations to our Bearcubs of the Week!
