How to efficiently sum 4 x 8bit integers with ARM or NEON

Hi,
I am trying to write an ASM function to shrink an 8-bit greyscale image by 4, so I need to get the sum of 4 bytes very quickly. From what I have read, NEON needs atleast 32-bit integers and VFP is for floats, so it looks like I should just stick with ARM (or Thumb-2) instructions.
But I'm just a beginner so I'm wondering if there is a more efficient method of summing 4 consecutive bytes than convert each byte to a 32bit int and then sum them (and then shift right to get the average).
Its for a Cortex-A8 (ARMv7-A), and the data is aligned to 32 bytes or whatever I want.
Cheers,
Shervin Emami
