HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS MONTH
FROM KIM: Whenever I tell someone I work for Community Impact, one of the most common responses I get is “I love seeing what new restaurants are opening!” Across the Spring and Klein area, you may have noticed several hot chicken eateries that have opened up over the last few years. To learn more about these local oerings, check out our Hot Chicken Guide on Pages 14-15. For your reference, you’ll also nd the heat levels for each restaurant’s chicken ranging from the least amount of spice to the spiciest. Enjoy! Kim Giannetti, GENERAL MANAGER
FROM HANNAH: Roughly 10 months after Klein ISD voters approved an $895.3 million bond package, district leaders announced in March which seven campuses will be the rst to undergo construction. As of late March, renovation projects for Klein Collins, Klein Cain and Klein Oak high schools; Kleb, Doerre and Hildebrandt intermediate schools; and Northampton Elementary School had gone out for bid with anticipated completion dates by August 2024. To learn more about what changes each of these campuses will undergo, see our front-page story, which continues on Page 17. Hannah Brol, EDITOR
