September Pack the Backpack Winner: Kelsea Anderson

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 1st winner of the School Year is Kelsea Anderson – 4th Grade Teacher at South Tama County Elementary School. She was nominated by co-worker, Maci Fritz, who wrote to Kix 101.1:

Every year, I see Kelsea going above and beyond her roles as a teacher. One thing that she does, which I think is so special, is raise money to buy each of her students in her class a book, every month! The students get to keep this book and take it home. The goal is to expand her students’ home library, which is amazing! In our community, we have a good handful of our students whose parents can’t necessarily afford to buy them books, or even school supplies for that matter, so the fact that she is doing this is so admirable. As a young teacher myself, she has always been someone whom I’ve looked up to and respected! Kelsea deserves this recognition and more!

She could use things like: pencils, crayons, sticky notes, Kleenex, paperclips, note books, folders & much more.

Take a listen to our surprise interview with Kelsea Anderson!
