Meet Mrs. Blanchard!
Hello! My name is Rachel Blanchard and I am excited to be your teacher this year. This will be my first year teaching fifth grade. I taught fourth grade for three years in Muskegon and was their science specialist for a year. I started with MVCA in March teaching K-2 and am excited to start the year off this year. My husband and I live in Sand Lake, MI on the lake. We have a two year old named Jacob and are expecting a little girl September 10th. I love being outside and enjoy learning about nature. I have my teaching certificate in science from Grand Valley State University. I look forward to meeting all of you soon! |
Meet Mrs. Kroodsma!
Hi there! My name is Emily Kroodsma and I am so excited to start the school year with you. This will be my fourth year teaching 5th grade at MVCA and I absolutely love what I do! My husband and I live in a cute yellow house in Lake Orion, MI which is in the Metro Detroit area. I am a graduate of Michigan State University where I studied Elementary Education specifically focusing on Social Studies and Urban Education. My favorite things to do include reading, painting, playing volleyball, cooking/baking, traveling and watching football. It's going to be an amazing year and I can't wait to share it with you! |
Hi! My name is Lacie Shelley and I am excited to be part of your 5th grade team! I started in December of last year, so this will be my first official start with MVCA! I am excited to take this learning journey with you. I live in Wheeler, which is a pretty small town in the middle of the mitten. I am happily married (almost 8 years now), and together we have two children; Allie (4), and Easton (1). We also have a fur baby, Baxter. He is a lab mix and is our oldest baby! I completed my schooling at CMU where I studied Elementary Education focusing on Language Arts and Mathematics. After school, I love being outside and watching sporting events! Hunting, fishing, camping, and going to the beach are some of my favorite things to do. Basketball and football are my two go to sports (March Madness is the best). I am looking forward to spending our educational time with you all this year, we are going to have a great start!
