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!!

The List for Thursday, February 6th 2025

Welcome to The List,

The stunt that Kanye West and his wife pulled on the red carpet at the Grammy’s has struck a nerve with EX-wife Kim Kardashian…she’s “allegedly alarmed” by what they did.  She’s afraid of how this will affect her children. What makes her really furious is how he stood there, ordering Bianca to do really demeaning and humiliating things.  This is Kim Kardashian….

-----

Taylor Swift is allegedly worried about overshadowing Travis Kelce at the Super Bowl. She wants Kelce to have the spotlight as he aims for a historic win with the Kansas City Chiefs…to late!!

-----

Morgan Wallen just posted a new version of his song, "Love Somebody", where he's playing the piano.  Now fans are begging him to play it on his upcoming tour.  Morgan said, "Probably not gonna play this on tour, not this version anyway, but I like how it sounds.

-----

Shaboozey's song, "A Bar Song (Tipsy)", just broke the record for the most weeks spent at #1 in the history of the Billboard Radio Songs chart.
