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 Holiday Edition of Pack the Backpack continues this week with our winner being Mrs. Lindsay Adams, 1st Grade Teacher at West Marshall Elementary. She was nominated by a parent and student, Brittney and Bia Benson. Here is what they wrote to Kix 101.1.:
Hello!
I’d like to nominate my daughters 1st grade teacher Lindsay Adams at West Marshall Elementary!
Mrs. Adams is a dedicated, passionate, and caring teacher who got to “loop” this year and take her entire kindergarten class to first grade with her! She is always going above and beyond for her students! We see her car at the school even on the weekends! We feel Mrs. Adams could definitely benefit from the backpack to fill her classroom with all the supplies needed for all the extra she does with her busy 1st graders!
Thank you,
Brittney Benson
Bia Benson- 1st grader
Take a listen to our surprise interview with Mrs. Adams below!
