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 September winner is STEM Teacher at South Tama Middle School, Morgan McFate. She was nominated by Crystal Hass, who wrote to Kix 101.1:
Morgan has been at South Tama County Middle School for 5 years and pours her heart into her STEM curriculum and makes class exciting for all students. Every week she sees hundreds of students, gets to know them on a personal level, and shares her love of learning. She makes class enjoyable by being hands-on with projects and activities.
She not only supports our Middle School students but she also manages the community pool in the summer, coaches Basketball Cheerleading, and Girl’s Soccer. She is an asset to our community and our school is better with her as an educator.
Thank you for your consideration,
Crystal Hass
