JANUARY RECIPIENT:
Kim Hurley – 2nd Grade Teacher – Franklin Elementary School
NOMINATED BY:
Toshia Arends (co-worker)
TOSHIA’S LETTER:
I am a para at this school and I see this teacher, as well as all of the staff at this school, go above and beyond every day for the students. She definitely has her hands full with 2nd graders as attention spans are short, they talk constantly and out of turn and they like to see how much pressure a pencil can take before it breaks (among destroying other supplies she is constantly replacing). She is a very, calm, sweet, loving and caring woman with the patience of an angle for sure. And I believe she just deserves a little thank you.
Welcome to The List,
John Osborne from Brothers Osborne just shared a voicemail from his own mom… saying Zach Top has replaced them as her favorite. And honestly? Same, Mama. Everybody loves Zach Top. But still if you can’t depend on Mama… WHO can you depend on?!

Al Pacino...yes, 85-year-old Al Pacino is reportedly on the hunt for someone “young and sexy” after splitting with his baby mama. A source says he’s “shooting for the moon,” which is adorable… and slightly terrifying. But hey, the man’s still got charm, charisma… and apparently, a really strong telescope.

Jelly Roll says he’s dropping another hundred pounds before skydiving in Sweden with his wife, Bunnie Xo. He’s already lost a ton and says he feels amazing but he’s chasing those “imagine how great I’ll feel THEN” vibes. Jelly, just make sure you lose the weight before you lose the parachute.

The search is on for the next four-legged superstar in Air Bud Returns! They’re looking for a golden retriever, so if your dog can act, dunk, and maybe do its own taxes, you could be sitting on Hollywood gold.
