This weeks winner is Stella Anderson – 3rd Grade Teacher at Davis Elementary School in Grinnell
Ms. Anderson deserves this because she consistently goes above and beyond for all of her students. Ms. Anderson has been teaching for a very long time and does not let that slow her down or change her attitude. In fact, she was my 2nd grade teacher (24 years ago), my sons 3rd grade teacher (4 years ago) and now she is currently my daughter’s 3rd grade teacher. In Grinnell, K-2nd grade is at a different school than 3rd-4th grade. Our daughter is the baby of our family. She also recently needed an EIP. So, her switching schools and going from a teacher we LOVED, made us very nervous. But once we found out that Ms. Anderson would be Addisons teacher, all our worries were gone. She is WONDERFUL when it comes to her students. She always makes sure they are okay at school and outside of school. She cares about their feelings and how their day is going. She personally has called me to make sure of after school plans for our kids. She just overall CARES about her students. I wouldn’t want my children to have had a different 3rd grade teacher!
Welcome to The List,
Taylor Swift’s wedding guest list is already causing drama, and we’re not even at the cake yet. Apparently, Kim Kardashian is a hard no after all that Kanye chaos. Sources say Taylor wants zero bad vibes on her big day. Which honestly makes sense, nobody wants awkward small talk at the open bar. Moral of the story, bring a gift… not baggage.

Megan Moroney just proved pre-show routines don’t have to be all zen and candles. She says it’s loud, messy, and basically a backstage sleepover. Music blasting, friends everywhere, chaos level high. Because if it gets too serious, she starts overthinking everything. So yeah, sometimes the best prep is just controlled madness.

Jo Dee Messina is leveling up her tour snacks. Gone are the soda and basic chicken, hello protein everything. We’re talking shakes, bars, Quest chips, hydration. And yes, still a glass of wine because balance matters. Fitness goals…

Julia Roberts might be heading back to rom-com land, and fans are ready. She and Richard Gere have said no to Pretty Woman 2. But a fresh romantic comedy reunion is back on the table. Because sometimes you just need that classic chemistry again.
You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
