Hello, Klein ISD. I'm in a Lemm Elementary 
classroom that's housed in Klein Cain High 
School.

2
00:00:04,060 --> 00:00:09,100
Wanted to give you a quick update on Hurricane 
Harvey and Klein ISD.

3
00:00:09,110 --> 00:00:12,500
First, let me tell you how proud I am of 
our students and staff...

4
00:00:12,510 --> 00:00:22,000
...who have rallied around this community, 
wrapped our arms around each other, lifted 
each other up as we work through Hurricane 
Harvey and its aftermath.

5
00:00:22,010 --> 00:00:24,900
So proud of this community. So proud to be 
part of this community.

6
00:00:24,910 --> 00:00:31,800
As a school system, we asked ourselves, "What 
is it that we can do for next steps in this 
situation?"

7
00:00:31,810 --> 00:00:38,400
And where we landed was, we're equipped to 
provide a safe and stable environment for 
so many people.

8
00:00:38,410 --> 00:00:45,700
That's what we want to do. You know that 
we're providing free breakfast and free lunch 
for every student who walks in the door to 
our schools on Wednesday.

9
00:00:45,710 --> 00:00:50,500
But y'all know that schools are more than 
just about learning and lunch.

10
00:00:50,510 --> 00:00:59,600
So we have a great team of school nurses 
and counselors and school psychologists ready 
to assist our students and our staff. And 
also, of course, our amazing teachers.

11
00:00:59,610 --> 00:01:06,700
We've reached out to our teachers and made 
sure that they're going to be able to be 
here on Wednesday.

12
00:01:06,710 --> 00:01:13,990
I'm so very pleased to report that over 4,100 
of them are going to be here on Wednesday.

13
00:01:13,990 --> 00:01:20,200
Which means that around 128 are still not 
able to. We're rallying around those particular 
individuals...

14
00:01:20,210 --> 00:01:27,900
...taking care of them. Just like we are 
prepared to rally around every student who 
may need to be rallied around.

15
00:01:27,910 --> 00:01:33,900
We want to connect individual needs with 
the community resources that are out here.

16
00:01:33,910 --> 00:01:38,500
If you're in a situation where you can't 
make it to school, parents. Don't worry about 
it.

17
00:01:38,510 --> 00:01:43,100
You take care of the situation that you have 
at hand. Whenever you're ready to make the 
transition...

18
00:01:43,110 --> 00:01:46,000
...we're ready to welcome your student back.

19
00:01:46,010 --> 00:01:47,400
And we'll be excited to do so.

20
00:01:47,410 --> 00:01:49,600
That's where we are right now in Klein ISD.

21
00:01:49,610 --> 00:01:52,900
I can tell you, having been out in the commuity...

22
00:01:52,910 --> 00:01:59,700
...it has been an amazing thing to watch 
Promise2Purpose become action throughout 
our community.

23
00:01:59,710 --> 00:02:04,900
On behalf of all of us in the Klein ISD community, 
thank you for all that you continue to do.

24
00:02:04,910 --> 00:02:11,000
