Our second winner for the Holiday Edition of Pack the Backpack is 2nd grade teacher at East Marshall Elementary, Carol Meyer. She was nominated by Denae Neisess, a parent of one of the students in her class. Here is the nomination letter:
Good morning!I’d like to nominate Mrs. Meyer, second grade teacher at East Marshall Elementary. She has been in teaching for over 20 years. Most of those years were as a Kindergarten teacher. Two years ago she took on the challenge of leaving her comfort zone and taking on second grade. She had to start over in terms of lesson plans as well as supplies. She is a very positive role model to these kids/parents and takes a hands on approach to learning. With 26 students this year I think this would be a nice pick me up and give her and the students something extra that is very much deserved.

Welcome to The List,
Carrie Underwood has a regret bigger than bad bangs. She says during American Idol, she barely took photos. Now fans show up wearing outfits she once auctioned. She literally tried buying her own jeans back. Carrie says document everything, even denim.
-----
Ella Langley just tied Taylor Swift. Yes, THAT Taylor. Her song Choosin’ Texas ruled the Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs at the same time. Both women logged three massive weeks at number one. Texas apparently chooses chart domination.
-----
Oscar night chaos went fully Hollywood fever dream. Sean Penn skipped awards to visit Ukraine instead. Michael B. Jordan reportedly celebrated with In-N-Out burgers. Timothée Chalamet allegedly coached sister on Kylie manners. Hollywood remains beautifully weird as ever.
-----
Jennifer Lopez rumor mill just hit turbo mode. Sources say she’s eyeing romance with Bad Bunny. She believes the pairing could boost her popularity. She also feels proud of his Puerto Rican success. Love or marketing plan, you decide…This womans love life has more ups and downs than a yo-yo.
