Haude Students Collect Coins for Clothing Closets
The fifth grade students at Haude Elementary completed their annual service project called Coins for Clothing Closets, with proceeds benefiting the Moms Helping Moms of Texas project. Students held a campus-wide coin war and raised $863 to purchase clothing racks and clothes to assist under-resourced families in the Klein community. In November 2011, the students began to collect clothes for the project. Nearly 70 fifth graders, along with parent volunteers, assembled the clothes racks after school then delivered them to Kaiser Elementary, Greenwood Forest Elementary, and Eiland Elementary.
Roth and Frank Elementary Hosts van Gogh Traveling Exhibit
Roth Elementary is displaying a Teacher’s Discovery Traveling Exhibit on campus from Jan. 23-27, 2012, for students. The display is funded through a grant from the Klein ISD Education Foundation (KEF) won by teachers Amy Dietrich (Roth Elementary) and Tim Trammell (Frank Elementary). The exhibit next travels to Frank on Jan. 30, 2012, to Feb. 3.
The exhibit features paintings of Vincent van Gogh and includes a giant reproduction of Starry Night. The replicas celebrate art, the French language, French and Dutch culture and history. This grant allows students to discover ideas and make connections in the artworks using the Feldman Method, an art critique process. Through the KEF grant, a total of eight weekly displays at both elementary schools displaying various artists including: Diego Rivera, Claude Monet, and Katsushika Hokusai, in February; Leonardo Da Vinci in March; Mary Cassatt and Henri Rousseau in April; and a special teachers choice in May.
