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!!

Closer Weekly says Faith Hill and Tim McGraw are enjoying newfound freedom as empty nesters. A source says, “With the kids living on their own, They’re doing stuff together and planning cozy trips for two. For Tim, that means spray tanning. For Faith, it means an edgier look.

-----

A musician named Fil Henley used audio software to examine Taylor Swift's Eras Tour performances, and he claims they're all the same pre-recorded track.  They're also heavily pitch-corrected….well, at least Travis Kelce’s touchdowns are real…
