Hawkes was nominated by her student, Greta Zimmerman. In her nominating statement, Zimmerman said, “She’s very understanding and takes time to know each and every child, such as letting us tell stories about ourselves so that she gets to know us better and telling us stories about herself so we get to know her better.”
