This is my fourth year in Klein and feel very fortunate to be working in the Klein School District . I was the counselor at Roth before moving over to Benignus with Mrs. Kainer. My husband and I have lived in the Klein community for the past 20 years. We have two boys who attend Klein Oak. I am very excited to be a part of the Benignus staff and am looking forward to working with the students, parents and faculty this year.
