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 latest winner is Teresa Rasmussen – Behavioral Teacher @ Edwards Elementary School, she was nominated by Bethany Hays
Teresa went above & beyond for my son, he has gone through so much trauma & she stood by him & myself every step of the way being so understanding & caring, helping me help him work though all the chaos that he went through & to control his emotions & also standing by him & being understanding when his father passed of overdose. She is so caring & gives everything she has to help all of her students & just all children & I feel like this would be the best way to show all of the appreciation & love I have for her & appreciation for everything that she does as the most AMAZING teacher I have ever met.
Take a listen to our surprise interview with Teresa

Welcome to The List,
“Cosby Show” fans, brace yourselves—Malcolm-Jamal Warner has died at 54 after getting caught in a strong ocean current while vacationing in Costa Rica with his wife and daughter. From sitcom royalty to a tragic ending far too soon. Heavy hearts all around.

Welp, Hulu is out here asking, “How awkward can dating shows really get?” Their new series "Are You My First?" drops August 18th—picture “Bachelor in Paradise,” but with one tiny twist… EVERYBODY’S A VIRGIN. So yeah, buckle up for 90% cringe and 10% prayer.

Lainey Wilson’s fiancé, Duck Hodges, has had it with people making AI-generated wedding pics of them. He said—and I quote "At least make us look GOOD!" So, to whoever made those janky, glitchy AI shots: Duck says, if you're gonna fake it, fake it fabulous!

Tim McGraw’s career might be hitting a speed bump… thanks to his own body. Word is, his extreme workouts and non-stop touring have jacked up his spine so bad, he can’t even stand straight. When your abs are shredded but your back says “uncle,” it might be time to chill, Tim.
