PACK THE BACKPACK
APRIL 2025 Recipient
APRIL RECIPIENT:
Shelby Macki – 1st & 2nd Grade Special Education Teacher – Nevada Central Elementary School
NOMINATED BY:
Heinrik Edgington
HEINRIK’S LETTER:
Mrs. Macki is the kindest and caring teacher. She loves to share big wins such as learning to read, spelling sight words, and any accomplishment! She has a place for kids in her room to rest, she knows when kids are not themselves, she allows them to have space to rest and regroup. She encourages kids to be themselves, be kind, and express themselves. Teaching them to use their words in a kind way to tell someone they are not doing ok and need something. Mrs. Macki is truly remarkable. Not only does she share wins, she keeps my mom updated too.

Welcome to The List,
The National Enquirer claims American Idol owes its comeback to Jelly Roll — and some of the judges aren’t exactly thrilled. Apparently, Lionel and Luke are jealous because Jelly’s too busy throwing parties, making friends, and just being a walking ball of good vibes. Honestly... how dare he save the show by being awesome? The nerve!

Jason Aldean told Billboard that Carrie Underwood’s kids have played baseball against his and that there’s no way her kids are beating his kids at baseball. Experts say the matchup was intense — lots of Capri Suns, a few scraped knees, and one very sweaty Jason trash-talking an 8-year-old from the bleachers. Somebody get this man a juice box and a participation trophy!
-----
Word is Tom Cruise is trying to win over Ana de Armas — but there’s just a tiny hurdle: she’s 36, her boyfriend’s 27, and Tom... is 62. But hey, age is just a number... until your number qualifies you for the senior discount at IHOP. Good luck, Maverick. it's not 1986 anymore. You’re not battling Russians in a fighter jet — you’re battling TikTok boyfriends with better hair.
-----
This just in - Apparently Travis Kelce unfollowed Ryan Reynolds because Taylor Swift is somehow tied up in Blake Lively’s legal drama. Wow. I haven’t seen stakes this high since I overcooked a Hot Pocket.

Welcome to The List,
Today’s Superhero Day! Tim McGraw was asked which superhero he’d be, and he said, “You wanna say Superman 'cause you can fly…but I'm a pilot, so I already fly. I'd be the Invisible Man!" Honestly, same. I’d love to disappear anytime someone says, "Can we talk?"
-----
Over the weekend, the ACMs started handing out trophies early! Ella Langley snagged Best New Female Artist, and Zach Top grabbed Best New Male Artist. Full show’s May 8th—but early congrats to them! I can’t even get an early pizza delivery, and they’re already winning awards!
-----
George and Amal Clooney might be heading for a $500 million divorce...because she skipped his Broadway debut. (Yikes.) George says they’ve “never had a fight”—which is adorable...until one missed playbill flips the table. Love is grand...divorce is expensive!
-----
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are allegedly planning their future together—and they’re loving being out of the spotlight. No tours, no touchdowns, just sweats, snacks, and secret Pinterest wedding boards. The biggest drama is arguing over who left the fridge open instead of dodging paparazzi.
