Our 1st Holiday Pack the Backpack winner is Resource Teacher at BCLUW Middle School, Mrs. Darci Steckelberg. She was nominated by the Gardner Family and here’s what they wrote to Kix 101.1:
We have a very special teacher at the BCLUW Middle school that goes over and beyond for every single one of her students she is amazing and she is also the special education teacher as well. She is one of the best out there – big heart and just all-around amazing person. Her name is Mrs.Steckelberg (Darci) she has had 2 of my four kids and they just love her so much and has help my kids more than she will ever know. I asked my daughter what she needs and she says “She always has snacks for us. And she’s always helping kids with folders and notebooks and pencils and pens and she uses post it notes too!!” I know she does a lot on the white boards so stuff for that. Anything that helps kids with reading and math. I hope she gets picked!!

It’s not uncommon for artists to go “crazy spending” after they first get signed. Our question is; what was the FIRST thing Miranda Lambert bought after she got her first record deal? “When I signed my first record deal at 19, I bought a four-wheeler. That’s how I got home. My dad had it to like three years ago. Like. Like they don’t make those kind of anymore.”

Swifties are coming after Zach Bryan. One fan pointed out that THREE of his songs sound suspiciously like Taylor Swift songs. In hindsight, it probably wasn't wise of him to tweet that Kanye is better than Taylor.
