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 first winner of the 2021-2022 school year is Mrs. Macy Engle – 3rd Grade Teacher at BCLUW Elementary School. She was nominated by a parent of a student, Jacey Lehman. Here’s what she wrote to Kix 101.1.:
I would like to nominate Mrs. Macy Engle for the Pack the Backpack award. Mrs. Engle teaches 3rd grade at BCLUW, and my daughter is in her class. My daughter has so much enthusiasm and excitement about school this year, and I think it is due to the excitement and enthusiasm Mrs. Engle brings to the classroom each day.
Outfitting a classroom has to be a daunting task–especially when you’re just out of college and starting from scratch. This is Mrs. Engle’s first year teaching, so it would be great to see her win the Pack the Backpack award to help build up the supplies in her classroom.
Thank you for your consideration of Mrs. Engle!

Welcome to The List,
Did you catch Beyonce’s performance during half-time on Wednesday’s game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Houston Texans? She performed a medley of songs off her album, “Cowboy Carter,” released earlier this year. Post Malone and Shaboozey, who are featured on “Cowboy Carter,” made special appearances during the Christmas Day performance.

Carly Pearce spent some time on tour with Tim McGraw earlier this year, and although she’s an avid runner and big into other fitness regimens like Orange Theory and spinning, one workout she has no plans to incorporate into her routine is Tim’s intense CrossFit training. “Yeah, I’m not gonna be a part of Tim McGraw’s workouts because quite frankly, I don’t think I could keep up. I did pull the tire up and I got it up, but he said that he will flip the tire the length of like a football field, y’all. And I’m just not going to do that. I will stick to running. If Tim McGraw wants to do a running challenge, let’s go.”

Some people may not know that one of Justin Moore’s favorite hobbies is cooking. He loves to try new recipes and often watches the Food Network for inspiration. We wondered if Justin has ever considered putting all those family recipes and his other favorites into a cookbook. “I would certainly be up for it. I’ve not ever thought about it, but I think it would be somethin’ that would be fun to do.”
