April Pack the Backpack Winner: Trisha Voss

What a great event we have with 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 Pre-School teacher in Oskaloosa, Mrs. Trisha Voss. Trisha was nominated by her sister-in-law, Jessica Goodwin. Below is the nomination letter:

My name is Jessica Goodwin and I would like to nominate Trisha Voss for the Pack A Backpack. She is one of the preschool teachers in Oskaloosa and she is also my sister-in-law. Her husband Cole has a very rare muscle disease (that I cannot remeber the name of) and he is currently in hospice and doesnt have much longer to live. They are both in their 30s and life just isnt being fair. They have 2 sons together Ayden and Kayleb ages 11 and 12 years old. I would love to help oit in their time of need and with her being a teacher I thought this was a great time to help. In her classroom she needs craft supplies, crayons, glue sticks, and a new kitchen set for the kids to learn. Her mind is so full right now during this stressful time, she deserves it.

Thank you in advance.

Jessica Goodwin.

Rooster is a sweet and easygoing pup with a playful personality and a lot of love to give. He was brought in as a stray, despite his uncertain beginnings, Rooster has shown himself to be a sweet and gentle companion with a playful spirit.

He especially enjoys playing with toys and engages happily during playtime. As a younger dog, Rooster is still learning basic commands and manners, but he is eager and continues to make progress. With consistency and positive reinforcement, he has great potential to thrive in a loving home.

The List for Monday, April 6th 2026

Welcome to The List,

WKRP is finally becoming a real thing after 48 years, and radio people everywhere just felt a chill. The legendary sitcom made Cincinnati famous without even having a real station. Now the actual call letters are being sold, and someone’s bringing WKRP home. Somewhere, turkeys are nervous and DJs are smiling.

-----

Carrie Underwood says the secret to staying sane in fame is faith. She says the industry can make everything about you real fast. Faith keeps her grounded when everything else is trying to lift her too high. So basically, humility is her real number one hit.

-----

Zach Top says a bad round of golf can wreck his whole mood, which feels very relatable. Instead of throwing clubs, he writes songs about it like a classy human. Turns out his sadness already had a soundtrack, his own song “Between the Ditches.” Nothing like turning a bogey into a ballad.

-----

Britney Spears’ life is still headed to the big screen, even with recent drama swirling around her. Universal says they’re in it for the long haul and ready to tell the full story. Apparently, that includes love life chaos, music fame, and everything in between. Somewhere, Justin Timberlake is allegedly pacing and stress-eating popcorn.

You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
