It was an honor to be on the same teaching staff with Sarah B Hawkins at Lessie Moore Elementary under Henry E. Shorter. As stern as she presented herself, she also had a very gentle and generous side. I will never forget the many times she showed her compassion during times of sickness and death in my family. She was "one of a kind", so I will miss her and always hold onto those wonderful memories. The world would be a better place if more people showed those kinds of Christian traits!

Mrs. Hawkins was a Diva that everyone admired and strived to be like. She was a special teacher and a great friend. When she entered the room, you knew that a lady was present. With her quiet disposition and elegant mannerism, she expressed her concerns differently. She was a true Christian in character and action. She will be missed tremendously !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Mrs Hawkins was also my 5th grade teacher. She and I used to bump heads a lot but I can say she was my best teacher along side of Mrs Baker from PJH. You will be greatly Mrs Hawkins!

Mrs. Hawkins is one of those teachers you never forget. She was a great teacher who made sure you learned in her class and also a great person outside of the school. She will be missed.

Mrs. Hawkin's was also MY 5th grade teacher as well at Lessie Moore. I remember her treating myself and 4 other students to dinner at Piccadilly's because we all scored perfectly on our "proficiency tests". :-) I wish we had more teacher's like you Mrs. Hawkin's. You are greatly missed.

Mrs. Hawkins was my 5th grade teacher at Lessie Moore Elem. Although I can recall all of my elementary teachers and the impact these ladies had upon my elementary education, Mrs. Hawkins I remember quite vividly. Mrs. Hawkins didn't waste her time entertaining foolishness.She'd ask you, "Who's name is above that door?" It says Sarah B. Hawkins. When you entered her room, one knew he/she was there to learn. I have fond memories of not only Mrs. Hawkins, but her co-workers as well. Mrs. Hawkins...
