Our latest winner is Mrs. Morgan Fehrmann – Kindergarten Teacher @ Grundy Center Elementary School, she was nominated by Kelsey Nilles, she wrote
Mrs. Fehrmann is new to our school district and she has been an AMAZING addition! My daughter is in her class & comes home every day telling me how wonderful kindergarten is. This is largely due to the work & dedication of Mrs. Fehrmann! She is committed to making sure that these young students are learning as much as they can & are becoming well rounded individuals. I am so proud to say that my daughter is in Mrs. Fehrmann’s class! I also am on the staff at Grundy Center with Mrs. Fehrmann & can attest that she brings so much to the table professionally! She has some great experiences to share & is constantly working to become a better teacher. She is a great collaborator & team player, & she really wants what is best for ALL of the students in our building!

Welcome to The List,
Tim McGraw is not a “comedy guy” he doesn’t watch comedy movies but we asked if he had to pick one guy… “George Carlin. He was always my favorite. Anytime I’m flipping through channels, and they have some old stuff with George Carlin and I sit and watch, and he’ll make me laugh.” Lately he and Faith every once in a while will catch an episode of All in the Family adding Archie Bunker makes him laugh pretty hard…

Your four-year-old is psyched right now, The Wiggles just went Country. They got a new truck. And in true Country fashion, they wrote a song about it. They replaced their "Big Red Car" with a big red truck. It's called "Big Red Ute" (yoot) . . . Aussie slang for a utility vehicle. Maybe DON'T tell your kid about the song, though. Because if they love it, you're in big trouble. It's the kind of thing you only want to hear once, and even that might be too much.

Jennifer Lopez is "not looking for anybody" after her divorce from Ben Affleck. She says, ": There's no new bar because I'm not looking for anybody. Because everything that I’ve done over the past 25, 30 years, being in these different challenging situations, what can I do when it's just me flying on my own?" It’s probably best for all the single men out there too.
