Hi Rockwell families! I’m Klint Van Cleemput, and while you might know me as your physical education teacher, this is my very first year serving on the PTA. I am stepping into the Enrichment role and am incredibly excited to bring in numerous learning opportunities for all students before, during, and after school based on their interests. Outside of teaching PE and building PTA enrichment programs, I enjoy spending time with my family and diving into a wide mix of hobbies. Whether it’s playing sports, chess, and video games, or exploring robotics, coding, cooking, collecting cards, and traveling around the world, I love staying active and curious. I can’t wait for a great year ahead!
Kainoa is the VP of Volunteer Services. This is her third year in the role at Rockwell, and she has previously held board roles in volunteering, membership, and events, as well as room parent duties. She has a son entering high school at RHS and a son in the 3rd grade. Kainoa is looking forward to another year of supporting volunteers and relationship-building with families in the Rockwell community!
Outside of school Kainoa works in the non-profit, social services sector. She has an unhealthy obsession with books (reading them, buying them, borrowing them), acts as her kids Uber driver for their sporting events and hang outs, and has a love hate relationship with the family cat.
This is Natalia’s third year on the PTA Board. She will be working on the School of Excellence application process. Natalia has a daughter in 3rd grade, so she’s still learning a lot about the ins and outs of school and joining the PTA is a great way to do that! She hopes to contribute to making Rockwell an enriching and inclusive school for all families.
Natalia grew up in Poland and has also lived in Spain and Argentina. Her professional experience is in international education. She works at the University of Washington Bothell, promoting global engagement opportunities for students, faculty, and staff. She enjoys traveling – in person and through reading – skiing, hiking, and baking.
