My husband, Keith, and I have four wonderful adult kiddos who continue to grow our family with their significant others. My favorite way to spend time is mediocrely playing a few instruments, including banjo, ukulele, and uke bass. Our youngest son has labeled us distracted travelers, and Keith and I are hoping to add many more road trips where we meander from destination to destination, all the while playing a few rounds of Mad Libs or Would You Rather.]]> 2022-03-22 13:17:10 UTC https://padlet.com/tristapratt/xcs576e4waxfctnw/wish/2107483827 Amy Rutledge amyrut19 https://padlet.com/tristapratt/xcs576e4waxfctnw/wish/2107653821 I am in my 13th year with MVA. I work as a high school teacher and I also work with enrollment.  I don't have any children.  I do have a sister who lives in Kentucky and two wonderful parents. My boyfriend and I recently purchased a home over near the Grand Rapids area to be closer to our cottage.  My favorite food to eat is Mexican, even though I do love all types of food. My favorite thing to do when I am not working is I enjoy cooking, gardening, traveling, and spending time with family and friends. I have a very large family as I am part Native American from the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians in the the U.P. I have over 300 aunts, uncles, and cousins that I am related too. We have a family reunion every 5 years on Sugar Island, so it gets very interesting trying to remember everyone, but it is always a good time. ]]> 2022-03-22 14:27:35 UTC https://padlet.com/tristapratt/xcs576e4waxfctnw/wish/2107653821 Sharon Lawson https://padlet.com/tristapratt/xcs576e4waxfctnw/wish/2112073212 This is my 2nd year with MVA. I am a high school mentor teacher. I have 3 grown children (Jenn, Brandon and TJ) and 6 grandchildren. 5 boys (Nolan, Max, Noah, Luke and Dean. 1 babygirl Lilly!(she may be a bit spoiled by everyone). My favorite way to spend time when not working is to play volleyball and tennis, be a nana and read. I live in Port Sanilac, which is up in the thumb. My favorite food is anything sweet!]]> 2022-03-24 15:10:41 UTC https://padlet.com/tristapratt/xcs576e4waxfctnw/wish/2112073212 Jen Nikkel https://padlet.com/tristapratt/xcs576e4waxfctnw/wish/2114317532 APRIL the absolute BEST MONTH of the YEAR!!!  Why you ask???? 
  1. The birthstone is a diamond.
  2. The flowers of the month are Daisies and Sweet Pea.
  3. There are 3 holidays in April. What are they? There is April Fools Day, Easter, and Earth Day. That is a lot of holidays for one month! April is just extra appreciative!
  4. Professional baseball starts in April.
  5. April is Jazz Appreciation Month.
  6. April is the month of my birthday!
Now, this may make me a little bias, but aw well. Just think of me as lucky 😉

I share my birthday month with so many great April Babies but there is one April baby 🐣 that I am beyond thankful for.... Can you guess who this is????  You got it Mr. Weaver and his AMAZING company that I am proud to work for My Virtual Academy.  I have been with My Virtual for almost 7 years.  When I started my little baby Brookes was only 6 months old.  It is beyond crazy how time flies when you are having fun!  I also have three fine, handsome, smart, amazing men in my life they are Clint (aka the professor age 11), Weston (aka too much fun age 9), and my husband Chad (aka he is like a child 😍) that keep me busy, to say the least.  I absolutely love playing games it can be any game cards, foot race, PIG, it doesn't matter.  The best part is I SHOW NO MERCY!!  My kids and friends understand this and that is part of the reason why they love me so much!  They say I keep life inserting and I like it!    HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO APRIL !!

I have played for many Gospel Artists during my career and was the Vocal Coach for the Hip Hop Artist Aaliyah until her death. I enjoy listening to all types of music but my favorite genres are Jazz and Gospel. I am truly blessed to have my mother still living and I enjoy sitting and talking with her as she continues to impart her wisdom and knowledge on our family. She will be 102 yrs old May 4th. I like to go fishing and eat what I catch.]]> 2022-03-28 18:11:20 UTC https://padlet.com/tristapratt/xcs576e4waxfctnw/wish/2117756733 https://padlet.com/tristapratt/xcs576e4waxfctnw/wish/2118129462 2022-03-28 23:18:00 UTC https://padlet.com/tristapratt/xcs576e4waxfctnw/wish/2118129462 Claudia Fisher cfishermva https://padlet.com/tristapratt/xcs576e4waxfctnw/wish/2123653936 This is my 15th year with MVA.

My parents came from Bosnia to the United States in the 90's due to war. I was raised in Hamtramck, Michigan. A lot of my family members are in Europe, but we still have a lot of family in the United States too. It was common for a lot of us to go to my grandma's house and have big family gatherings when I was younger. I'd also have family from Norway who would visit us for a few weeks every couple of years. So, I got to learn a lot about my family growing up and I have a lot of fond memories. I'm not sure if I have a favorite food, but I really enjoy steak and obviously some traditional Bosnian foods. When I am not working I really enjoy hanging out with family and friends. I also enjoy playing video games and interacting with various other forms of entertainment whenever I can. ]]> 2022-03-31 23:57:39 UTC https://padlet.com/tristapratt/xcs576e4waxfctnw/wish/2124490156 Sarah Decker https://padlet.com/tristapratt/xcs576e4waxfctnw/wish/2125925807 I am going on my third year as an Enrollment Specialist and I love it! I have my bachelors in English Literature and love to read. I am big fan of Victorian Literature. I am also a big movie fan. I was recently married and our favorite thing is to just cuddle up at home and watch movies. We also like to spend a lot of time up north. My family has a cabin in Clare, MI and also in Gladstone, MI in the U.P. I enjoy riding our four wheelers and dirt bikes up there every chance we can. I love spending time with family. I grew up around hundreds of aunts, uncles, and cousins, and I am now lucky enough to call ATS's Mark Krutell my father in law! Happy birthday to all the April babies! ]]> 2022-04-01 19:00:48 UTC https://padlet.com/tristapratt/xcs576e4waxfctnw/wish/2125925807 Howard Weaver https://padlet.com/tristapratt/xcs576e4waxfctnw/wish/2127346801 I am looking forward to my birthday with my new grandbaby, Charley.  I am one of ten children, actually number 9.  I didn't a middle name, but number 10 did!  I have two children, Scott and Renee, and five grandchildren, Alison, Evelyn, Matthew, Parker and Brendan.  And now a great-granddaughter, Charlotte Kay.  I love pizza and I haven't had any for a long time!  I also love chocolate and peeps.  

It is such a pleasure to work with all the fine employees of ATS, no matter what month of the year they were born!  ]]> 2022-04-03 17:15:03 UTC https://padlet.com/tristapratt/xcs576e4waxfctnw/wish/2127346801 Emily Bradberry https://padlet.com/tristapratt/xcs576e4waxfctnw/wish/2128490087 I agree with Jen, April is the BEST birthday month!!
I am a 4th grade teacher this year at MVA. It is my 2nd year working for the company. I have a 1 1/2 year old baby girl named Zion, and she has a very busy life! When I'm not chasing her around, I enjoy relaxing with my husband, Russ. I've also begun to reignite my musicianship... after being a music teacher for a couple years I experienced significant burnout, but so far 2022 has been filled with lots of singing and I hope to get out to some open mics this summer! :) ]]> 2022-04-04 12:11:24 UTC https://padlet.com/tristapratt/xcs576e4waxfctnw/wish/2128490087 James Nash https://padlet.com/tristapratt/xcs576e4waxfctnw/wish/2132625801 I have been with the Weaver's since 2010.
