Ms. Hastings

Hello!!!

My name is Mary Hastings and this is my 21st year of teaching. I have experience in teaching Kindergarten, First, and Second grade! I love teaching the primary grades because it is a time of excitement, wonder and a lot of growth.

I grew up in Colorado and earned my undergrad in Psychology from the University of Northern Colorado. I then earned my teaching certificate through a Masters program at the University of Colorado at Denver. I have taught in three states, Colorado, Arizona, and Texas. I moved back to Colorado in the year of 2010 and have been here ever since.

I have a son named Jack who will be sixth grader this year. Jack is an amazing boy who keeps me busy with soccer, baseball, art, hiking and fun adventures. We have a dog named Rufus that we adopted from Moms and Mutts (https://mamcorescue.org). He is adorable… Shar- Pei, Lab, Boxer mix.

My favorite things to do besides being with my son and teaching are... Yoga, I have recently been hired at Sumits Yoga! I have also started Yoga camps for children called Yogi's for Life. I began these after school camps a couple of years ago and I continued teaching them this summer. I also love to teach art camps after school! I love hiking, traveling, and being with my friends and family. I feel so very blessed, and honored that I get to share your child with you this year. I truly look forward to the amazing year ahead.
