This week's Staff Spotlight shines on Aidan LaGraff, the newest maestro to join our Kleb Orchestra family! 🎼

From tiny fingers on piano keys at just 3 years old to wielding a conductor's baton in high school band, Aidan's musical journey reads like a symphony of passion and dedication. Growing up in Nacogdoches with his dad working in SFA's music department, you could say music literally runs in his DNA!

This multi-talented musician began his lifelong love affair with music at age 3, then expanded his musical horizons with violin in 5th grade, followed by saxophone in 6th grade – proving that when it comes to making beautiful music, variety truly is the spice of life. By 8th grade, Aidan had already fallen head-over-heels in love with the idea of teaching music, a passion that flourished at SFA through the Strings Project, where he discovered the joy of teaching 5th graders.

When he's not orchestrating amazing learning experiences for our students, you might find Aidan scaling rock walls or diving into epic gaming adventures. From earning an outstanding musician award in his youth to growing up in a family steeped in the arts, Aidan's experiences shaped his love of music and led him to become the passionate, student-focused educator he is today.

We're lucky to have such a talented and passionate educator helping our students discover the joy of making music together!

This week's Staff Spotlight welcomes our newest team member, Rachel White, who joins the Kleb family as our new school nurse– and we couldn't be more thrilled to have her aboard!

With an impressive 24 years as a registered nurse (RN) with experience spanning hospitals and home care, Rachel brings a wealth of expertise and a genuine passion for helping and taking care of people. From the mountains of Ogden, Utah to calling Texas home since 2005, she's dedicated her career to making a difference in people's lives – and now that difference comes to Kleb!

Rachel is the ultimate multitasking mom to three active boys – twin sophomores at Klein High and a 5th grader at Theiss. While her sons enjoy playing soccer on the side, Rachel stays busy supporting all their activities and adventures. When she finds time for herself, you might catch her enjoying a swim – it's one of her favorite ways to unwind and have fun.

But here's what makes Rachel extra special: she's a true foodie who loves to cook and has a passion for all things chocolate! Her adventurous spirit extends beyond the kitchen too – she loves to travel, always seeking new destinations and creating unforgettable memories with her family.

Rachel brings not just professional excellence to Kleb, but also warmth, compassion, and that special blend of expertise and heart that makes the best healthcare providers. Welcome to the Kleb family, Rachel – we can't wait to see all the amazing things you'll accomplish here! 🏊‍♀️⚽🍫✨

This week's Staff Spotlight shines brightly on one of our amazing custodians, Ms. Gabby Mota! 🌟

For an incredible 18 years at Kleb (and 20 years with Klein ISD!), Ms. Gabby has been one of our unsung heroes who makes our school sparkle inside and out. But here's what makes this spotlight extra special – we're celebrating not just her dedication to keeping our learning spaces pristine, but also her recent achievement of becoming a U.S. Citizen! Talk about a dream come true!

From the beautiful state of Jalisco, Mexico, Ms. Gabby brings warmth, pride, and an incredible work ethic to everything she does. When she's not busy making Kleb shine, you'll find her doing what she loves most – shopping adventures and precious family time with her two children.

What truly sets Ms. Gabby apart is her genuine love for her work and her deep appreciation for the Kleb and Klein ISD family. She feels honored to be recognized, but honestly, we're the ones who are honored to have someone so dedicated walking our halls every day!

Next time you see Ms. Gabby, give her a wave and a smile – she's not just keeping our school clean, she's helping create the welcoming environment where learning thrives! 🏫✨
