My name is Jessica Bright. I am the new Kindergarten teacher for this new year cycle, and I am very happy to join this team and can’t wait to meet each one of the children. I have been teaching for a little over 8 years. 

I enjoy the Kindergarten level because I can encourage the children to love learning. Building the foundation of their education is essential to a more vigorous learning journey, and I hope with God’s help, I can contribute to that. I am multilingual (English, Spanish, French) and I love singing a lot in my class. I really hope this year we can make the best of every opportunity and that our children can reach many milestones.
