March Pack the Backpack Winner: Mrs. Kendra Hamilton

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.
