First Grade Team
Megan Bridge, B.S.
I grew up in Rockville, Maryland and graduated from East Carolina University with a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education in 2007. It was in Greenville, NC where I met my husband and taught 2nd grade for 5 years. After getting married, we made a big change and moved to Beaufort, SC where we have fallen in love with the town. After moving to Beaufort, I began working at Bridges Preparatory School where I taught 3rd grade for a year and was a Literacy Coach for 2 years. As a teacher, I believe all students can achieve anything with the proper motivation. I believe in the importance of small groups, differentiated instruction and hands on activities. In my free time I enjoy going to the beach, and spending time with my husband and two children!

Leanne Jones, M. Ed.
I graduated from Wofford College in 2008 with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Economics. After working in retail for a few years, I began to search for a job with more meaning and purpose. I volunteered in an elementary school and fell in love! The learning environment and meaningful relationships which are possible in a classroom were so attractive to me. While living in Columbia I earned my Master of Art in Teaching in Elementary Education from the University of South Carolina in 2012 and began teaching second grade. My husband, Andrew, a Beaufort native, and I moved home to Beaufort in 2013. I taught second grade with Beaufort County School District. I am thrilled to join the Riverview family as a first grade teacher! The mission statement and core values of this school speak directly to me as an educator and now as a parent of our son, Brinson. I am grateful to be a part of this wonderful school family.

I joined the RCS team after graduating Magna Cum Laude from the University of South Carolina Beaufort with a Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education. I also hold a Master’s Degree in Autism and Applied Behavior Analysis from Endicott College. I am married to my husband, Greg, who is a firefighter/EMT for the Bluffton Township Fire Department. I am thrilled to continue as a member of the RCS family and I know that Riverview’s philosophy of teaching the whole child and learning by doing is a perfect match for my teaching style. I understand how important it is to really know every student so that I can teach them based on their specific needs. I believe that every child has the ability to learn and I cannot to wait to facilitate my students’ learning and growth. As a native of this area, I couldn’t be more excited to give back to a place that helped me grow. I am ready to continue this journey with my new group of 1stgraders and I’m so happy to call RCS home!

I am a Beaufort native and and have been with Riverview as an instructional assistant since 2013. I currently attend Grand Canyon University, where I major in elementary education with an emphasis in early childhood. I am married to Scott and have 4 children, two who attend Riverview. My previous experience includes working in a classroom at Sea Island Presbyterian Day School, teaching 2 and 4 year olds. My passion is teaching and using creativity to make hands-on learning fun for students. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, baking, and spending time with my family.
