Our second winner for the Holiday Edition of Pack the Backpack is 2nd grade teacher at East Marshall Elementary, Carol Meyer. She was nominated by Denae Neisess, a parent of one of the students in her class. Here is the nomination letter:
Good morning!I’d like to nominate Mrs. Meyer, second grade teacher at East Marshall Elementary. She has been in teaching for over 20 years. Most of those years were as a Kindergarten teacher. Two years ago she took on the challenge of leaving her comfort zone and taking on second grade. She had to start over in terms of lesson plans as well as supplies. She is a very positive role model to these kids/parents and takes a hands on approach to learning. With 26 students this year I think this would be a nice pick me up and give her and the students something extra that is very much deserved.

Welcome to The List,
Luke Combs was shocked to hear "People" magazine named him the sexiest 34-year-old on the planet. He told a reporter that when he heard they put him on a list, he thought it was for eating the "most cheeseburgers."

Keith Urban was doing an interview for a recent edition of Variety magazine when he said he has two sides to his personality. "I’ve got a dutiful, responsible, reliable side. And I’ve got this animalistic, wild, reckless, irresponsible, What does this button do?' side. I constantly have to keep them both in check to make sure one side isn't taking more control than it should."

Jay Leno recently suffered a 60-foot fall down a hill at a hotel resulting in injuries to his eyes and face that were left bruised along with a broken wrist. Which has led to wild internet conspiracies that Jay has a “gambling problem” and debt collectors were sending a message…

Lastly, remember Jussie Smollett? Well his conviction for allegedly staging a hate crime against himself has been overturned by the Illinois Supreme Court. They ruled that he shouldn't have been prosecuted after making a deal with the D.A.
