Meet Mrs. Newton

Welcome to the media center!  This is my first year in the media center and I am delighted to get to know each of you as a reader. I am beginning my 15th year in teaching.  During that time, I have taught children from 3-year-old pre-k through fifth grade.  

I received my bachelor's degree from Shorter University.  I continued my education at Piedmont College where I earned my master's degree in Early Childhood Education and a specialist degree in Curriculum and Instruction. To better serve my students, I have added endorsements in gifted and ESOL education. In 2022, I completed my certification in School Library Media.

I have been married to my high school sweetheart, Matthew, for 20 years.  We have three boys who keep us very busy. Micah, our fifteen-year-old, is a tenth grader at Pickens High this year.  Our middle son, Jonah, is a seventh grader at Pickens Junior High School, and Noah, our youngest son, is in sixth grade at Jasper Middle School. I'm looking forward to another wonderful year at Tate Elementary!
