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 latest winner is Miss Off – 4th grade teacher at Rock Run Elementary School. Nominated by Summer Steelman
SUMMER’S LETTER:
She’s kind, loving, caring and makes learning fun but still teaching us very well. If you need help with anything she will be there in an instant unless she is helping another student. She tore her ACL playing basketball with her students and over the summer she had surgery. School started, she has not taken a day off even though she is physically in pain and she will not let that stop the education of her students. That shows what limits she takes to show her students that she cares.
She has a store with cool stuff and fake money that we earn. Everything that is in that store she bought with her own money. So basically, her idea with the store is so that kids know how to save and how to spend money in the real world. She has stuff that kids actually want to buy encouraging students to earn cash. Every Friday she opens the store and kids shop with their money. There is lots of ways you can earn money – like if you read 20 minutes a night you earn a dollar. So, in my opinion, I think she needs more stuff for her shop.

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.
You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
