Why Choose True Harvest?

Core Values
Community - True Harvest has a family atmosphere. We partner with parents and welcome open communication as students develop socially, emotionally, physically, and academically. As they learn about the importance of community, they will be challenged to take the lessons learned in the classroom and apply them to every aspect of their lives.
Creativity - Students will be encouraged to think outside of the box as they participate in innovative, hands-on tasks and activities.
Christ-Centered - True Harvest is Christ-centered in its curriculum and culture. Students will be reminded of God’s love, sovereignty, and goodness throughout their daily lessons.
High Expectations - Children will meet the expectations that are set for them. Therefore, they will be encouraged to become the best versions of themselves by receiving positive reinforcement and support throughout each day.
Integrity - Our goal is for staff, students, and parents to be proud of their affiliation with True Harvest, which is why integrity is an integral part of the program.
Respect - Mutual respect between all members of True Harvest is a top priority. We want families, students, and staff to feel safe and welcome in our classroom.

Meet the Staff
Sunnie Fredricks
Mrs. Fredricks is a born and raised Alaskan who loves serving her hometown community of Fairbanks. She has been working with children for over fifteen years and while she loves teaching all ages, she has a special place in her heart for young students. She is a certified elementary teacher in the Fairbanks North Star Borough School District, currently completing her M.Ed., a certified 4th degree master martial arts instructor, and maintains her safety certification with USAG (United States of America Gymnastics). Mrs. Fredricks’ extensive experience working with children of various ages and capabilities in several different capacities is what sparked her desire to design the True Harvest program. She was homeschooled throughout middle school, and graduated from West Valley High School as a UA Scholar and earned her degrees at UAF. Some of her fondest memories are the incorporation of movement in her daily school lessons, which is why she is excited to share those experiences with the next generation. True Harvest is going to give her the opportunity to combine her passions: martial arts, gymnastics, inspiring a love of learning, and living for Christ.
