January Pack the Backpack Winner: Mrs. Karen Roseland

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 January winner is 5th Grade Math/Science Teacher, Mrs. Karen Roseland at East Marshall Middle School. She was nominated by a grandparent and student that is in Mrs. Roseland’s class. Here is what Tracy and Sophia wrote to Kix 101.1.:

Sophia Raye Juarez would like to nominate, Mrs. Karen Roseland, her 5th grade teacher at East Marshall middle school. Sophia has been out of school with a brain tumor since October 5, 2021. Mrs. Roseland has been in touch with Sophia and I, her grandma every week. When we sold bracelets for Sophia, Mrs. Roseland and her family purchased them for Sophia’s whole grade.

We want to help Mrs. Roseland out by having her get what she needs to teach her class. So Sophia hopes you chose Mrs. Roseland for this special contest.
