Religious School Principal - Harriett Kroot  



I am delighted to be the Director of the Religious School. I retired after thirty-eight years in education. The first twenty-eight years, I taught grades K-6 including gifted and talented for many years and at another time teaching students in the inner city of Los Angeles. The last ten years of my career I served as Principal of Skyridge School in Auburn. Currently I am serving as Director of our Religious School; teaching both Sunday School and Hebrew School. Being with young people is my pleasure.
