We heard plenty of stories about how AARON RODGERS and SHAILENE WOODLEY had broken up. But they were all based on anonymous "sources", and we never heard anything official. Now a new Instagram post by Aaron is muddying the waters. It's all about gratitude . . . and it includes a picture of him snuggling with Shailene.

Darci Lynne joined the Morning Kix Start on Wednesday to talk about her upcoming show at Stephen's Auditorium on March 5th. Take a listen to her visit below.
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 February winner is 4th Grade Teacher at GMG Elementary, Quentin Moen. He was nominated by Kyle Hall. Here is what he wrote to Kix 101.1.:
Good morning!
I want to nominate Mr. Quentin Moen for the pack the backpack. Mr. Moen is a 4th grade teacher at GMG Elementary. He has previously taught before but being a 1st year/new teacher at a school has challenges in itself. Mr. Moen's challenges were amplified by the fact that he actually took over the classroom roughly 6 weeks into the school year after another teacher left. My daughter, Brynnlee, was very nervous when she heard she was about to have her first "boy teacher" but she has loved every minute since he became her classes teacher. He is very attentive with the kids, breaks things down when they don't understand and overall has made learning fun for my daughter and her fellow students. He is often incentivizing the kids with prizes for a job well done and I am sure this could help with those prizes or anything else he needs as he continues to get his classroom set up!
Go Wolverines!
Thank you for the consideration,
Kyle Hall
Take a listen to our surprise interview with Mr. Moen below!
