Good Afternoon KIX Country,I’m emailing today on behalf of my girlfriend, Michelle Erbs. Michelle is a 1st Grade teacher at Blakesburg Elementary in the EBF school district. Some of many items that she has to buy for her classroom are listed below. I wanted to reach out to you guys because I heard about it on the radio and I see first-hand from her the struggle she has buying materials for her classroom on top of living expenses and paying off student loans for her Early Childhood Development degree. She does it though without a second thought as she enjoys teaching and the growth of her students.
Books
Sit-spots
Decorations
Writing materials
Thanks,
Ryan Smithart

Our fourth winner for the Holiday Edition of Pack the Backpack is 1st grade teacher at Rogers Elementary in Marshalltown, Jodi Kolbe. She was nominated by school secretary, Mary Verdugo. Here is the nomination letter:
Hi guys, My name is Mary Verdugo. I am the school secretary at Rogers Elementary, I could give you a list of most of our teachers that go beyond to have what we need for our kids and that make their room a wonderful environment for our students, but today I will give you a name - Jodi Kolbe. Jodi has had a hard summer losing a loved one and still being there for her students -- or her kids as she calls them. She is awesome and she has purchased, like many of our teachers, many things out of her pocket to have things that her students need. So I nominate her for the pack the backpack.
Listen below to my interview with Jodi.

Our third winner for the Holiday Edition of Pack the Backpack is 6th grade teacher at Lenihan Intermediate Elementary in Marshalltown, Carrie Bohan. She was nominated by her husband, Mark Bohan, who is also a teacher. Here is the nomination letter:
Good afternoon,I know I'm biased, but Carrie Bohan teaches 6th grade and Lenihan Intermediate here in town. She consistently picks up things for kiddos that can't afford supplies and does so without giving a second thought to doing so. She cares for her kids like they were her own and by the end of the year has a group she can be proud of. She's in it for the right reasons and is the type of teacher you can be proud to have teaching your kids.
Sincerely,
Mark Bohan
