I was born and raised in Southern California and moved up to Auburn after my oldest daughter was born. My wife and I keep busy with our two daughters and our dog. My hobbies include baseball, running, reading, and being a dad.
I played baseball at College of the Desert, and once I was done playing I transferred to San Diego State. My Bachelor's Degree is in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Physical Education. I went to National University for my Master’s Degree in Education, as well as my teaching credential. I have taught many subjects at the middle school level in Auburn/San Diego, and I truly love working with students and families. I am so fortunate to have landed in such a welcoming community at Harvest Ridge. The staff, families, and especially the students, make this a truly special place. |

My name is Robin Silski and I was born and raised in Stockton. I went to Chico State where I received a BA in Liberal Studies, a Minor in Latin American Studies and my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential. After college I moved back home to teach 3rd/4th for eight years at a multi-age, project-based, performing and visual arts school. My husband, Todd, is a fireman and we met at a CPR class he was instructing. We moved to Auburn in January of 2007 to be close to the trails and we thought it would be a great place to raise children. Our two children, Robby and Amaya, keep us busy with many adventures.
I enjoy doing a lot of things. Searching through cookbooks, running with my two German Shepherds, working in the yard, and mountain/road riding are all things I love, as well as quilting and making jewelry. One of my favorite things to do with my family is to explore new cities on foot and asking the locals where to eat. This is how I discovered salted caramel ice cream! |
I am originally from Humboldt County, where I attended a small elementary school K-8, similar to the structure and community here at Harvest Ridge. Eager to venture beyond the redwood curtain, I moved to the Bay Area for college. I earned my Bachelor of Arts Liberal Studies from Saint Mary’s College and my teaching credential from UC Davis. After college, I had the opportunity to live in several places throughout California, teaching elementary students within various school districts. In January 2015, I began teaching at Harvest Ridge.
Outside the classroom I love spending time with my family and pets. We love to travel, play outdoors, boating, and camping. I also personally love cooking, gardening, working on DIY projects, and reading great books. I truly love Harvest Ridge and I am grateful for the opportunity to work with such an amazing community. |

My name is Andrea Sardella and I was born and raised in Modesto. After high school I attended college at California State University, Chico where I met my husband, Eric. We both graduated in 1997 and moved to this area when my husband got a job working at Intel. I began my teaching career at Placer Elementary in Loomis teaching 7th and 8th grade. I loved teaching 7th and 8th graders, and I could not picture doing anything else, until my children were born. I took a few years off of work to be home with my two sons, and I loved every minute of it. I returned to work as a part-time home study teacher, first in Loomis Union School District and then with Horizon Charter School. Teaching home study gave me the opportunity to work with students in grades K-12, and I learned so much about home schooling, curriculum, and alternative approaches to education. I also had the chance to home school my own son for a year.
In 2009 I was thrilled to have the opportunity to help create Harvest Ridge Cooperative Charter School. I feel so lucky to be able to teach at a school that shares my same vision for education, a sense of community, and a love of children. My boys have both attended Harvest Ridge Cooperative Charter School. When we are not at school my family enjoys being at home together, boating, camping, and more recently, learning to raise chickens. In my free time I can be found reading, listening to music, and pursuing any avenue that allows me to be creative! |
My name is Rebecca Feickert, I grew up in Newcastle attending Newcastle Elementary and Del Oro High. I went to California State University, Chico majoring in Liberal Studies for my undergraduate degree. After that, I completed my teaching credential at Sierra Nevada College in Incline Village. More recently, I completed my Masters in Instructional Education. I’ve been teaching in the area for over 20 years working with all grade levels. Having grown up in Newcastle, it’s such an honor to remain in this beautiful area to teach.
My husband Casey and I live in Loomis with our two daughters. When we aren’t working, we spend much of our time poolside or lake side as both girls are definitely water lovers and enjoy many water sports. We all love the outdoors, hiking, swimming, and relaxing beachside. Besides spending time with my family I love to read, work in our yard, travel and spend time with friends and family. Teaching is all I’ve ever wanted to do and I’m thrilled to be part of the Harvest Ridge Family. It’s a joy to be working with educators who enjoy and love what they do. There is something magical about Harvest Ridge and I am very proud to be a part of it! |
