Tim McGraw just released his stirring new single, “Standing Room Only,” which is already inspiring a lot of people to examine their life. “When I heard this song the lyrics hit me right away. I mean, it’s just so well written. It’s more about life affirmation, just like ‘Live Like You Were Dying.’ It wasn’t about dying, it was about living. it’s about going out and living life to the fullest, you know, and trying to be the best person you can be.” “Standing Room Only” is the title track for Tim McGraw’s next album, which he will release later this year.

The new Scream movie, “Scream VI”, topped the weekend box office. Cinemark Theaters is selling special Scream popcorn buckets. The buckets look like Ghostface’s mask and hood. People are already reselling the buckets online for $100. They originally cost $19 at theaters.

The April Minuteman Printing & Graphics Pack the Backpack winner, is Sarah Fricke – K-4 Special Behavior Intervention Teacher @ Woodrow Wilson Elementary School in Newton. She was nominated by Steven Marsh, Jaimie Bru, Ashley Durant, and Jonathan Duran, and here is what they wrote to Kix 101.1.
"She loves her job. She is good at her job. And she loves the students like they are her own kids."
"She works hard to help kids with behavior issues be successful at becoming their best self and helps get them on the right track to being able to be in classes with the other kids."
"Sarah is amazing with her students. She always goes above and beyond to make sure that her students are taken care of."
"Sarah teaches in and out of school no matter where you see her. She is always buying supplies, rewards, etc. out of her own pocket to ensure the kids are getting what they need. She goes above and beyond what any teacher is required to do.
