Pack the Backpack, presented by Central Office Supply, a division of Minuteman and Kix 101.1! Each month during the school year, we will be awarding $101 to a Kix Country classroom to help out with supplies. We will award the prize on the last Wednesday of the month. You can listen to each new winner at 8:30a on the Morning Kix Start.
Our September winner is STEM Teacher at South Tama Middle School, Morgan McFate. She was nominated by Crystal Hass, who wrote to Kix 101.1:
Morgan has been at South Tama County Middle School for 5 years and pours her heart into her STEM curriculum and makes class exciting for all students. Every week she sees hundreds of students, gets to know them on a personal level, and shares her love of learning. She makes class enjoyable by being hands-on with projects and activities.
She not only supports our Middle School students but she also manages the community pool in the summer, coaches Basketball Cheerleading, and Girl’s Soccer. She is an asset to our community and our school is better with her as an educator.
Thank you for your consideration,
Crystal Hass

What weather event happens when warm air and cold air meet?
Welcome to The List,
Hollywood lost a true action legend today. Chuck Norris, the martial arts star and longtime “Walker, Texas Ranger” icon, has died at age 86, according to statements from his family. Beyond the screen, his larger-than-life reputation exploded online through viral “Chuck Norris facts,” turning him into one of pop culture’s most enduring memes.
-----
Arnold is back forging steel abs in Venice - Schwarzenegger is grinding at the legendary Gold’s Gym again, training for a Conan sequel. He wants real muscles on screen, even if Hollywood quietly sprinkles in some CGI seasoning.
-----
Luke Combs battled wings like a true warrior - Luke became the first country star on Hot Ones, turkey calling between bites and comparing spicy wings to a home invasion. Nashville just found a new extreme sport.
-----
Lainey, Riley, and Cody bringing stadium energy - The ACM Awards are heading to Vegas, and this trio is set to light up the MGM Grand stage. Rhinestones, roar, and probably at least one cowboy hat thrown in victory.
You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
