The Newberry quadruplets, Skylar, Sydney, Ally Grace and Maylin, play in a school bus themed tent.

Joey and Karissa Newberry’s quadruplets started kindergarten at Park City Elementary this year. They stand on the school’s playground and are, from top to bottom, Skylar, Sydney, Ally Grace and Maylin.

4-times the fun goes to school

Kids adjust more quickly than parents

By GINA KINSLOW
Glasgow Daily Times

The children are students in Stella Downs’ class.

“They are their own individual person. They get along well with all the other students. They are all unique in their own way,” said Downs, who has had twins in her class before, but never quadruplets. “They’ve been a joy to have. They are a joy to be around.”

Anthony Frazier, principal, pointed out the children all behave differently.

“It’s neat to see how they interact with each other in the same room,” he said. “I was surprised. Sometimes when we have siblings in the same room, there is some conflict and things like that, but it’s not been like that. They are real close. They work well together. They take care of each other. It’s been a positive experience for all of them to be in the same room.”

Karissa drops the children off in the mornings, and they ride the bus home in the afternoons. All four say they enjoy riding the bus.

While Skylar and Ally Grace enjoy playing on the playground at school, Sydney and Maylin enjoy doing math.

“I like to do star student time,” said Maylin.

“That’s because star students make good choices,” said Skylar.

The children play well together, their parents said.

“They do fight like brothers and sisters, but they have a big time,” Karissa said.

The quadruplets will be celebrating their sixth birthday soon.

Sydney wants a My Little Pony toy, while Ally Grace wants Barbies. Maylin wants “a swimming Barbie,” and Skylar wants a real lizard. Why? “‘Cause I love lizards,” he said.

All four also have what they call “loose tooths.”

Skylar asked if the Tooth Fairy would bring him a Wal-Mart gift card, but Karissa explained to him that type of gift was a bit much for the Tooth Fairy and that he should probably expect 50 cents or a $1 for his tooth.

The Newberrys underwent fertility treatments to get pregnant with the quadruplets. If they were to get pregnant again, on their own without fertility treatments, then additional children would be welcome.
