South Newton Tigers

South Newton Elementary has been on the search for an ESL (English as a Second Language) Teacher to work with our students who are trying to support our English language learners. Being a bilingual Spanish speaker is a great asset for our students, but it is not a requirement. As an ESL teacher, you work with small groups of students throughout the day and group sizes are small for for focused interventions. Our students work very hard and last year we had nine students meet their requirements and exit the program successfully.

Please share and if you know of anyone who is interested, please encourage them to apply at www.newton-conover.org website under the "Join Team Newton-Conover" link.

The ministry "In My Father's House" that Dr. Robinson helps to operate receives donations of food, household, and toiletry products and they offer an Open Market Food Pantry on Mondays and Saturdays from 11:00 am - 1:00 pm at 108 East 1st St. in Newton, NC. Families can come and see the selection and choose items FOR FREE based on their needs. Please check out the flyer above!

Also, Dr. Robinson is going to put a collection bin at South Newton very soon. If any families are willing to donate items for use in the Open Market Food Pantry, you can place them in this bin: non-perishable, foods, pantry staples, baby items, household products or personal hygiene items.

Thank you for reading and please use this service - the Open Market Food Pantry wants to help anyone in need!

The 2026-2027 SNES School Supply lists are available at the links provided below for families to review. You can download these using the links below (I have a version in English and Spanish). I did use an AI translator called DeepL, so hopefully the quality of the Spanish translation is acceptable.

We also have copies of the school supply lists available in the SNES Main Office all summer long (we're open 8:00 - 4:00 pm, Monday - Thursday in the summer) so you can stop by and get a paper copy if you would like copies to take to the stores with you.

And, as information and flyers from organizations and churches come in to me advertising school supply giveaways / collections, I will be sure to share them with our families so you can participate.

The first day of the school year is Monday, August 24th, and Open House Night is Wed. August 19 from 5:00 - 7:00 pm.

Thank you for reviewing these lists and if you have any questions, please reply to this message, call the school phone number (828-464-4061), or email me at [email protected].

If any donor organizations would like to provide bulk school supply items or items from the grade level wish lists, we will gratefully accept these donations at SNES from 8:00 - 4:00 pm Monday - Thursday. And, we will gladly provide you with a 501(3)(c) Letter that you can use towards your taxes next year!

Tomorrow from 1-4 Sugar Peas Sipping Shack will be on campus! Please come enjoy a tasty beverage while supporting the SNES!

The Sipping Shack, a drink truck with lemonades, dirty sodas, and iced coffees, will be on campus on Monday, May 18th from 1-4pm. The public is welcome to stop by and visit the truck. A percentage will come back to the school! This is the same company we use for our inflatables so we appreciate this partnership!

Sharing with the public:
Our very own SNES 2nd grade teacher, Cynthia Thompson-Isenhour, was nominated by her former teacher for a contest called "America's Favorite Teacher." Mrs. Thompson-Isenhour, with the help of her friends & followers, has advanced through 7 rounds since March and she's currently 5th the quarter-final round (she's up against teachers from all over the world)! But, she still needs votes by May 7 to advance to the next round.

Mrs. Thompson-Isenhour is most drawn to this contest because if she wins the school receives:

*An assembly for all students hosted by BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY (valued at $10,000)
* A pallet of 100 Boxes of Hammermill Copy Paper ($5,000)
*$1,000 to use in the school's Library
*$5,000 for an Outdoor Reading Area and Climbing Wall

Mrs. Thompson-Isenhour also receives a monetary prize for her and her family (which will help her pay off medical bills for her and her daughter).

You can vote once daily, for FREE. OR you can donate and send 10 votes or more with the monetary donation. The monetary donation goes to the charities chosen by the America's Favorite Teacher organization.

Please strongly consider casting votes for these final 3 days to elevate Mrs. Thompson-Isenhour to the next round of competition (semi-finals from 5/8 to 5/14) and help SNES earn the school prizes that come with her selection!
