Ms. Riza has been teaching young learners since 2006, bringing over 18 years of experience and passion to the classroom. She spent 12 of those years teaching in South Korea, where she developed her energetic teaching style and love for working with children from diverse backgrounds.

For the past two years, Ms. Riza has served as the Grades 1-2 teacher at Scappoose Adventist School. Now in her third year, she has stepped into the role of principal while continuing to teach K-3. Her passion for teaching, storytelling, and nurturing young minds shines through in everything she does.

Despite her busy schedule, Ms. Riza finds joy in serving the Lord through her work at SAS. She is dedicated to helping each child grow academically, spiritually, and emotionally, and she considers it a blessing to be part of their learning journey.

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.
