My name is Mrs. Amber Newell and this is my 19th year working for the Bethalto School District. I split my time working with teachers throughout the district and providing reading instruction to our students at Meadowbrook. I also get the opportunity to work with and support many of our families. I have my Reading Specialist Degree and have earned National Board Certification in Literacy. I believe I have one of the best jobs in the world - I get to read and write with kids everyday! My husband Justin and I have two beautiful girls, Makenzie and Josie. We have two dogs, Charlie and Teddy. In my free time, I like to read, travel and watch my girls play sports.
