South Newton School Corporation is thrilled to introduce our certified therapy dog to staff, students, and the community! 

Merlin attended his celebratory debuts in the Elementary, Middle, and High School on Monday, October 26th.  A special 'thank you' to the Jasper Newton Foundation, Inc. for their support and financial backing in this endeavor, and to Jasper Newton Foundation, Inc. Executive Director, Brienne Hooker, for her assistance throughout the process. 

Merlin joins Laura Zak, Laura Robbins, and Kyra Barrett as part of the school counseling team here at South Newton.
