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 Holiday Edition of Pack the Backpack continues this week with our winner being Mrs. Lindsay Adams, 1st Grade Teacher at West Marshall Elementary. She was nominated by a parent and student, Brittney and Bia Benson. Here is what they wrote to Kix 101.1.:
Hello!
I’d like to nominate my daughters 1st grade teacher Lindsay Adams at West Marshall Elementary!
Mrs. Adams is a dedicated, passionate, and caring teacher who got to “loop” this year and take her entire kindergarten class to first grade with her! She is always going above and beyond for her students! We see her car at the school even on the weekends! We feel Mrs. Adams could definitely benefit from the backpack to fill her classroom with all the supplies needed for all the extra she does with her busy 1st graders!
Thank you,
Brittney Benson
Bia Benson- 1st grader
Take a listen to our surprise interview with Mrs. Adams below!

Welcome to The List,
Jelly Roll says he’s “obsessed” with training at the WWE Performance Center. Dude’s living there like it’s an Airbnb with dumbbells. He’s teaming up with Randy Orton at SummerSlam like this is the tag team we never knew we needed. Look out Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul, Jelly Roll's not just bringing the vocals, he’s bringing the violence.

Ronnie Dunn got caught using a lyric cheat sheet while singing "Whiskey Glasses" with Morgan Wallen… and didn’t even flinch. He joked, “I’m still learnin’ Neon Moon!” I mean, We’ve all sung the wrong verse at karaoke and blamed the lighting.
-----
Jennifer Aniston is reportedly dating a hypnotist named Jim Curtis. Her friends always try to set her up and now one of them finally hit the jackpot. She loves his “perspective and insight”…which is code for “he made eye contact, didn’t talk about crypto, and didn’t call her Rachel.” Honestly? Hypnotized, romanticized, maybe even… monogamized?
-----
Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath’s final concert just raised over $190 million, making it the highest-grossing charity concert ever. The Prince of Darkness just became Saint Ozzy. Somewhere Sharon is already planning the reboot: “The Retirement Tour... Part 2.”
You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
