✈️ Black History Month 2026 at Sutton was NOTHING short of INCREDIBLE! ✈️ I had the honor of serving as a coordinator for this entire experience, and also the Step Team Coach! ✈️ From the live performances, to the powerful tributes, to the Step Team shutting it DOWN! 💛 Thank you to our amazing students, parents, dedicated faculty, staff, administration, and planning committee for making this vision come to life. 🖤 This wasn’t just a program… this was a CELEBRATION of culture, excellence, and legacy. #TakingFlight #ElevatingVoices #HonoringHistory @SuttonCougars @SuttonPTA @MerriweatherEDU @fhenderson1908 @FPB_SuttonPA @apsupdate @BOEAPS @JenforAps

We did it again! District Champs ✔️

STATE… here we come! Our HRRB scholars showed up sharp, confident, and READY. Coach @Burdis_SMS and I could not be more proud of the teamwork, focus, and book brain power on display! @fhenderson1908 @MerriweatherEDU

Our middle school HRRB team is heading to the divisional competition! Coach Burdis and I are proud of our students, their hard work, and dedication! Huge congratulations to all the other teams, amazing competition, and incredible knowledge all around. @fhenderson1908

Congratulations to my colleague Erin Baugh on completing her Apple Learning Coach journey! Erin is an innovative IB Social Studies educator whose strong pedagogy and intentional use of instructional technology elevate teaching and learning for every student she serves.

Our 6th graders experienced JA BizTown and stepped straight into real world learning. Big decisions, real responsibilities, nonstop collaboration, and serious critical thinking. They showed up, figured it out, and made it happen. Real life skills in action. @fhenderson1908

Shoutout to our North Atlanta Cluster rising 6th graders! You all pulled up with big energy, great questions, and just the right amount of excitement. We loved showing you around and getting a sneak peek at the class of next year! @fhenderson1908

Thank you @anesha_williams for showing us that literacy can be powerful and fun when we imagine, learn, and grow together through ImagineLit!

The last day of @GaETConf always reminds me of how far I’ve come. What started as a love for creating and innovating with tech in my classroom, grew into a passion for helping others lead with it. @tbwyatt10 saw that before I did. Thank you, I’ll always give you your flowers!

As a media specialist, this Day 2 @GaETConf session hit differently. “Building Resilience in the Classroom with Apple’s Everyone Can Create” reminded me that creativity isn’t a subject, it’s a mindset that helps students think, reflect, and persevere.

Still buzzing from all the @GaETConf learning? Come end your day with me at 4:30 for Amplifying Student Voice! Let’s explore how creativity, visuals, and emotion turn student ideas into impact! @fhenderson1908

Attending the @GaETConf feels like a family reunion for the tech-obsessed! Learning new tricks, swapping ideas, and catching up with the people who just get it. Congratulations to my friend the newly appointed Dr.@Plums_TAGline!

Chapter One launched our Genre of the Month series with Mystery! The media center transformed into a Mystery Theater where students applied critical thinking, communication, and collaboration to solve riddles and crack the case! @fhenderson1908

I am in love with this! 💕💕

What-A-Day! Thank you @APSMediaServ Our All-Boys Book Club experienced @JasonReynolds83 up close from Ghost to Coach, they laughed, reflected, and left inspired with signed copies in hand. Lifelong readers know reading is power, purpose, and pure fun! @fhenderson1908
