Hello! My name is Karen Frederick, and I have had the joy of teaching Kindergarten for 36 years. As an Arizona native, I love being part of this community—and because I have two grandchildren who attend Patterson, this school holds a very special place in my heart!
Hello! I am Lisa Hart, and I am honored to be a Kindergarten teacher here at Patterson Elementary. I have been teaching for 35 years, and even after three decades, the excitement of watching students learn something new never gets old - it’s contagious! My goal is to foster that natural curiosity and watch my students grow by leaps and bounds each year.
