TLI Campus News Hawkins Elementary School On February 12, 2015, Hawkins Elementary Shared the Love of Reading with the district! Teachers led students in a close up view of books of their choice, and then the students were ready to share all they knew with district and community representatives. It was such a treat for Belen and I to get to spend time with students and talk about the things they love best-reading all about them! The projects were inspiring, the teachers and students were hardworking, and we were all so appreciative of all they had done! What a great way to spend a morning! Thank you so much, Hawkins! Let's do that again! TLI Professional Development Below is a list of Professional Development provided by TLI.
