Mary Hastings

Hello!!!

Welcome to Kindergarten! I am thrilled to be your child’s Kindergarten teacher! My name is Mary Hastings and this is my 23rd 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 in eighth grade this year at Rocky Heights Middle School. 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 teach adult classes at Sumits Yoga on Saturdays! I have also started Yoga camps for children called Yogi's for Life that I teach right here at Timber Trail after school! 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.
