On Thursday, January 19th Hawthorne students and staff came together to celebrate all of our students' learning so far.  Hawthorne students had evidence of their learning by decorating the halls in our building.  As a grade we toured each grades' accomplishments.  As a fifth grade we showed our understanding of higher level questioning while reading.  At the end of the assembly Mr. D lead the school in the Cupid Shuffle!!!!!  YEA HAWTHORNE SCHOOL!!!  It is all about learning!
