What a great event we have with 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 April winner is Pre-School teacher in Oskaloosa, Mrs. Trisha Voss. Trisha was nominated by her sister-in-law, Jessica Goodwin. Below is the nomination letter:
My name is Jessica Goodwin and I would like to nominate Trisha Voss for the Pack A Backpack. She is one of the preschool teachers in Oskaloosa and she is also my sister-in-law. Her husband Cole has a very rare muscle disease (that I cannot remeber the name of) and he is currently in hospice and doesnt have much longer to live. They are both in their 30s and life just isnt being fair. They have 2 sons together Ayden and Kayleb ages 11 and 12 years old. I would love to help oit in their time of need and with her being a teacher I thought this was a great time to help. In her classroom she needs craft supplies, crayons, glue sticks, and a new kitchen set for the kids to learn. Her mind is so full right now during this stressful time, she deserves it.
Thank you in advance.
Jessica Goodwin.

Brad Paisley says his former California home was lost in the Pacific Palisades wildfire. Saying “It was the first house Kim and I bought together. Memories were made with some of our dearest friends. I would post a link to donate or raise awareness or something, but it all feels so much bigger than that. I don't know where to begin.
-----
Jennifer Lopez is allegedly relying on Kim Kardashian of all people following her split from Ben Affleck. A source tells the publication, "Kim has been a great support system for Jennifer during this tough time. She’s really stepped up to the plate and been not only a shoulder to cry on, but also a bona fide cheerleader and a stylist, too. It must be so hard being Jennifer Lopez….

Something you probably never wanted to know about Jordan Davis. He loves to hunt and fish, but that doesn't make him a survivalist. He said if he was ever on "Naked and Afraid", he'd be the "first one out."
