Our third winner for the Holiday Edition of Pack the Backpack is 6th grade teacher at Lenihan Intermediate Elementary in Marshalltown, Carrie Bohan. She was nominated by her husband, Mark Bohan, who is also a teacher. Here is the nomination letter:
Good afternoon,I know I’m biased, but Carrie Bohan teaches 6th grade and Lenihan Intermediate here in town. She consistently picks up things for kiddos that can’t afford supplies and does so without giving a second thought to doing so. She cares for her kids like they were her own and by the end of the year has a group she can be proud of. She’s in it for the right reasons and is the type of teacher you can be proud to have teaching your kids.
Sincerely,
Mark Bohan

Singer. Artist in Residence at American Idol. Future WWE tag team champ?? Now he and Kevin James yes, mall cop Kevin are teaming up for a country music movie. Title and release date? Shhh, top secret. But Kevin says, “It’s gonna be crazy, and you know it is, ‘cause my man’s in it.”

Hardy was just vibing at a restaurant in Iowa when he overhears a server having a rough week. Turns out the guy’s a fan, so what does Hardy do? Invites him backstage AND brings him on stage to present the American flag. Bro just made that guy’s whole year. Monticello, you lucky dogs!

So apparently, Diddy is planning a comeback with… Kanye West. Yeah, that’s the plan. A source says they’re “two fallen giants ready to take over Hollywood.” Because what the world clearly needs is a redemption tour from the drama dream team.

Kim Kardashian is reportedly spiraling after Tom Brady yes, football’s golden boy picked Sofia Vergara over her. Sources say Kim thought sparks were flying… but Tom must’ve had his extinguisher handy. And in classic Kardashian style, how’s she coping? Retail therapy! Nothing heals rejection like overpriced purses and paparazzi tears.
