Hawthorne Students are Reading Rock Stars

It's been an exciting week at Hawthorne with author and artist, Gary Dulabaum.  He has worked with our K-6 students to celebrate songs, poetry and the joy of reading and writing. As an educational consultant, author and performing artist, Gary has visited several thousand schools across the nation and beyond as well as being a keynote and presenting at many local, state, regional and national conferences. 

Students worked with Mr. Dulabaum to create a song for each grade level.  His songs have a message for children always focusing on the theme of a love of reading. We will enjoy a school wide assembly at 1:50 on Thursday, February 25, when all students and staff will celebrate our 3 days with Mr. Dulabaum.

I'd like to extend a special "THANK YOU" to Mrs. Maurna Rome for all of her efforts to coordinate our "Be a Reading Rockstar" theme for the month.  Mrs. Rome made all the necessary connections and contact  so Mr. Dulabaum could impact and influence the lives of our Hawthorne students during I Love to Read Month.
