Originally from Portland, OR, a move to attend Colorado Christian University made Colorado her permanent home.

Mrs. Esther Frederick
[email protected]
Classroom Web site
Mrs. Frederick moved to Colorado seven years ago from the island of Oahu, Hawaii. She is married to Shaun and together they have three children, Troy (12), Annalise (9), and Johnathan (6).
Mrs. Frederick earned her bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from the University of Hawaii and decided to go back for her Masters degree in Elementary Education from Chaminade University. She is now in her 12th year as an educator and is excited to be joining the powerful second grade team.
In her spare time she enjoys adventures with her family and friends to see all the beauty that Colorado has to offer. She has also visited more states living here, than she has in her entire lifetime! The most recent trip was her first experience visiting the east coast. She had the opportunity to do so through chaperoning the exciting GRE trip to Washington DC.
Mrs. Frederick is going into her seventh year at GRE and she is grateful to be able to work with all of the amazing children, staff, and families. School is an ohana (family in Hawaiian) or aiga (family in Samoan) to Mrs. Frederick and she is blessed to be a part of the GRE ohana everyday!
