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 April winner is 4th Grade Teacher at Roland-Story Elementary, Mrs. Jane Bauman. She was nominated by Felicia Lucas, a parent who wrote to Kix 101.1.:
My 4th grader has Mrs. Bauman at Roland-Story Elementary this year. Riley comes home everyday and tells me about how Mrs. Bauman makes every lesson “so much fun”. But, what stuck out in my mind the most is a lesson that will stay with Riley for the rest of her life.“Everyone makes mistakes.” It’s only the 3rd week of school and Mrs. Bauman has already instilled in these little minds that everyone makes mistakes, no one is perfect and we can always be forgiven. That’s a lesson even adults have trouble with and I think it’s such a wonderful thing she is incorporating it into their everyday classroom experience.

Welcome to The List,
John Osborne from Brothers Osborne just shared a voicemail from his own mom… saying Zach Top has replaced them as her favorite. And honestly? Same, Mama. Everybody loves Zach Top. But still if you can’t depend on Mama… WHO can you depend on?!

Al Pacino...yes, 85-year-old Al Pacino is reportedly on the hunt for someone “young and sexy” after splitting with his baby mama. A source says he’s “shooting for the moon,” which is adorable… and slightly terrifying. But hey, the man’s still got charm, charisma… and apparently, a really strong telescope.

Jelly Roll says he’s dropping another hundred pounds before skydiving in Sweden with his wife, Bunnie Xo. He’s already lost a ton and says he feels amazing but he’s chasing those “imagine how great I’ll feel THEN” vibes. Jelly, just make sure you lose the weight before you lose the parachute.

The search is on for the next four-legged superstar in Air Bud Returns! They’re looking for a golden retriever, so if your dog can act, dunk, and maybe do its own taxes, you could be sitting on Hollywood gold.
You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
