There was an unforgettable "wild" reading extravaganza last night at the Harvey R. Newlin Elementary (follow their new official page!) "Wild About Reading Night" event!
Students and families enjoyed hearing stories from special guest readers like Superintendent Dr. Butler, Ben Briscoe from WFMY News 2, May Memorial Library readers, Elon University students, and Newlin staff.
In addition to storytelling adventures, there was food and "book bingo" in the cafeteria, with a chance to win some book-themed prizes. Thank you to all our amazing guest readers and families for making this community celebration of reading with Newlin so special! 📚🎉

Newlin is hoping to partner with Elon University to host a tutoring program. The tutoring program (The Village Project) would be held at Newlin one day a week for 6 sessions beginning in February-April from 5:00-7:00 pm. We would have some of our teachers tutoring, as well as some Elon student volunteers. Parents must provide transportation and they are invited to stay for the tutoring session to learn ways to best work with their child at home. A meal is provided from ABSS cafeterias for students and parents when attending the session. Students will be invited to Barnes and Noble for a book buy with a gift card of $50-$60 dollars to spend after completing the tutoring program. If this is something you are interested in for your child, please let your child's teacher know. If you have other questions, please reach out to the school.
Our 4th and 5th grade students will be performing in a Winter Music Concert on Thurs. Dec. 14th at 5:30. All students and families are welcome to join us. We will be serving hot chocolate and cookies. We look forward to seeing everyone.
This is just a reminder: School will be closed Nov. 22-24. Students will return to school on Mon. Nov. 27th. We hope everyone has a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!
