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.

The List for Thursday, March 19th 2026

Welcome to The List…

Hollywood’s biggest fear is officially here. Dead actors… still booking roles. A new movie is using A.I. to bring Val Kilmer back. Yeah. From the grave… straight to the premiere. The director says Val wanted this. His family signed off too. Which is great… until your Netflix suggestions start haunting you. Somewhere an Oscar just felt uncomfortable.

-----

Tom Brady says he wears a disguise to his kids’ games. Not kidding. Hoodie. Hat. Full undercover quarterback mode. Apparently the kids don’t want attention on them because… you know… their dad is TOM BRADY. Imagine trying to sneak into a gym when you’re built like a superhero statue. Sir… we still know it’s you.

-----

Rumor is Keith Urban might be going through a midlife crisis after the split. Sources say he wants to live the single life again. Totally different person now. Which honestly just sounds like every guy who suddenly discovers energy drinks and fitted jeans. Next step is obvious. Corvette. New Balance. Bluetooth headset.

-----

Kenny Chesney just launched his own record label. Big move. Real boss energy. It’s named after his boat… because of course it is. And the first artist he signed…drumroll… Kenny Chesney. Man skipped the middleman and hired himself. HR meeting must be real smooth.

The List for Wednesday, March 18th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Today we start with Wedding bells or preseason whistles. That’s the Taylor Swift Travis Kelce dilemma today. A source claims the couple may marry before NFL preseason kicks off. Apparently, they’re confident babies and blitz packages can peacefully coexist.

Because nothing screams romance like scheduling vows around training camp.

Love finds a way. Even through football drills.

-----

Hollywood’s favorite Spider couple might be spinning a new web. Sources say Zendaya and Tom Holland want a baby in 2026. They reportedly care more about family life than blockbuster fame. Meanwhile fans are just hoping their kid gets both accents. Tiny superhero incoming. Diapers with dramatic flair.

-----

Luke Combs just crushed every stylist’s wildest country fantasy. He told GQ you’ll never see him wearing a unitard on stage. He says he’ll stay himself. Hat, boots, and relatable dad vibes. How or WHY that question got brought up is a mystery…Then he pitched country stars for the Super Bowl halftime show. No spandex. Yes steel guitars. America wins.

-----

Country music meets coconut water survival tactics tonight. Zac Brown appears on Survivor for the reward challenge. He’s bringing legit spearfishing skills to impress hungry contestants. Because if you’re a country star you should be able to catch dinner barefoot. Vote him off? That seems deeply unwise.
