Mrs. Hoggard
Kindergarten

My name is Molly Hoggard, and I teach Kindergarten at Blackbird Elementary. My friends call me “Miss Molly”.
As a graduate of Michigan State University, my Bachelor’s of Science took me into zoo keeping! At Busch Gardens of Tampa Bay I met some amazing creatures! Believe it or not, I realized I was meant to be a teacher with the help of Makini, a 300-pound, 15 year-old silverback gorilla! Each day I would introduce Makini and his world to park visitors, and I especially enjoyed sharing it all with the young children I met!
Upon recognizing my desire to teach, I returned home to Harbor Springs, where I earned my elementary certification through Spring Arbor University. I volunteered and subbed at the Young Fives, Kindergarten, and first grade levels in the area, and thus am excited to be part of the kindergarten family at Blackbird!
Kindergarten is a year full of growth and development through many academic, social, and language experiences. It is my desire to be a guide who will help children start their academic careers through many positive and successful learning experiences!
I am looking forward to a fantastic year in Kindergarten!
