About the Librarian
My name is Ashlei Ball, and this is my 16th year teaching at Newport Grammar School. I spent my first 10 years in Kindergarten, followed by 4 years in first grade, with last year being my first year in the library. I am so excited to start my second year as the librarian at Newport Grammar School. Please feel free to reach out to me for assistance and questions.
