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 March winner is Nevada Central Elementary 1st/2nd Multiage Teacher, Kendra Hamilton. She was nominated by former student, Ava Frerk, who wrote to Kix 101.1:
I think Mrs. Hamilton should get the money because when I was in multiage first & second grade, she was very nice to me & my classmates & she helped us when we needed it. She also teaches in a way that made kids want to keep learning. Whenever it was time to clean up at the end of the day, she played music that kids could pick. When lunch & recess were over, she did kids yoga that helped us all calm down. I think she could use this money to get stuff for her classroom & more supplies for the students she has now & will have later on in her life. That is why I think she deserves the money. She is very useful & loving & could use the money for good causes.

What weather event happens when warm air and cold air meet?
Welcome to The List,
Hollywood lost a true action legend today. Chuck Norris, the martial arts star and longtime “Walker, Texas Ranger” icon, has died at age 86, according to statements from his family. Beyond the screen, his larger-than-life reputation exploded online through viral “Chuck Norris facts,” turning him into one of pop culture’s most enduring memes.
-----
Arnold is back forging steel abs in Venice - Schwarzenegger is grinding at the legendary Gold’s Gym again, training for a Conan sequel. He wants real muscles on screen, even if Hollywood quietly sprinkles in some CGI seasoning.
-----
Luke Combs battled wings like a true warrior - Luke became the first country star on Hot Ones, turkey calling between bites and comparing spicy wings to a home invasion. Nashville just found a new extreme sport.
-----
Lainey, Riley, and Cody bringing stadium energy - The ACM Awards are heading to Vegas, and this trio is set to light up the MGM Grand stage. Rhinestones, roar, and probably at least one cowboy hat thrown in victory.
You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
