The Holiday Edition of Pack the Backpack is presented by Central Office Supply, a division of Minuteman, generous employees at Lennox Industries in Marshalltown and Kix 101.1! Each Wednesday during December, we will be awarding $101 to a Kix Country classroom to help out with supplies.
Our latest winner for Holiday Edition of Pack the Backpack is Traci Nalevanko – 6th Grade ELA & Global Studies Teacher @ Callahan Middle School. She was nominated by Emily Nalevanko who wrote to Kix 101.1:
She has been teaching in the Des Moines Public School District for 33+ years and all of her students love her! She is amazing with all of her students and all of her staff members. All of her former students speak very, very highly of her. She isn’t my mom but she is a mother figure to many of her students and former students! She is all around an amazing teacher!
Take a listen to our surprise interview with Traci Nalevanko!
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
