My name is Cynthia Hawkins and I am excited to begin a new year with the amazing Grissom community. I have been a part of the Warren Consolidated Schools for twenty-one years and have had a wide range of experience teaching literacy. My goal for our ELA classes is to provide my students with a balanced approach to literacy allowing them to develop as a reader and writer. Throughout our journey together students will be a part of a team that will challenge them to give their personal best as well as develop an appreciation for reading and writing. As a graduate of Warren Consolidated Schools, and Grissom Middle School, I am proud to be back to my roots.
