Meet Mrs. Willard

Welcome to Third Grade!

I am Julie Willard and I LOVE teaching 3rd grade! I am thrilled to have the opportunity to learn and grow with you and your child throughout this school year!

​

I was born in Sierra Leone, West Africa, where my parents served as missionaries. We moved to the United States (Michigan) permanently, when I was nine. I attended Huntington College in Indiana, where I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education, with a minor in Music Performance. Later, I earned my Master's Degree from Spring Arbor University. I have taught a total of 14 years, mostly here at Kreeger Elementary. My husband, Josh, and I have 3 children: Ethan, 9, Maddie, 7, and Grant, 4. We own several lizards and frogs, and an adorable bulldog named Daisy!
