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 November winner is Preschool Teacher at GMG Elementary School, Mrs. Lacy Rose. She was nominated by the Brallier Family and here’s what they wrote to Kix 101.1:
We’d love to nominate Mrs. Lacy Rose- preschool teacher at GMG. Mrs. Rose is a bright shining star and an unforgettable entrance into the GMG community schools. You know there are just those people that are just made for certain things and are put on earth to make life better. That indeed is Mrs. Rose, she was made for teaching and shaping the minds of our littles. We had the pleasure of both our children getting to have her as their preschool teacher and my youngest got to have her an extra year for TK. Lacy is kind, caring, warm. From the moment we met her, she has this sparkle and passion for teaching that is infectious! I can rave about her teaching and how much my children learned from her, but honesty any teacher can do that. What sets her apart is the warmth and caring she provides while teaching. She moved mountains with helping our youngest gain confidence. I can’t express enough as a parent how reassuring and special it is, sending your kids off to their first school experience to someone you know loves them as they were their own. Mrs. Rose is a shining star!
Thank you,
The Brallier Family

AT THE MOVIES...Thursday’s at 5:40, brought to you by North Grand Cinema in Ames and IBC KIX 101.1….
Welcome to The List…
Hollywood’s biggest fear is officially here. Dead actors… still booking roles. A new movie is using A.I. to bring Val Kilmer back. Yeah. From the grave… straight to the premiere. The director says Val wanted this. His family signed off too. Which is great… until your Netflix suggestions start haunting you. Somewhere an Oscar just felt uncomfortable.
-----
Tom Brady says he wears a disguise to his kids’ games. Not kidding. Hoodie. Hat. Full undercover quarterback mode. Apparently the kids don’t want attention on them because… you know… their dad is TOM BRADY. Imagine trying to sneak into a gym when you’re built like a superhero statue. Sir… we still know it’s you.
-----
Rumor is Keith Urban might be going through a midlife crisis after the split. Sources say he wants to live the single life again. Totally different person now. Which honestly just sounds like every guy who suddenly discovers energy drinks and fitted jeans. Next step is obvious. Corvette. New Balance. Bluetooth headset.
-----
Kenny Chesney just launched his own record label. Big move. Real boss energy. It’s named after his boat… because of course it is. And the first artist he signed…drumroll… Kenny Chesney. Man skipped the middleman and hired himself. HR meeting must be real smooth.
You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
