HMS Students Learn about No Clog, No Fog
Brenda Winston, Public Education Specialist with DeKalb County Watershed Management, visited Henderson Middle School on November 15, 2018 to talk to 8th grade students about FOG.  FOG refers to the Fats, Oils and Grease which are often dumped into household drains.  FOG clogs our sewer lines and costs taxpayers money.  Students learned about the sources of FOG, the detrimental impact FOG has on our watershed, and how to properly dispose of FOG.  HMS thanks Ms. Winston for bringing this presentation to our students.

WSB-TV Features HMS Stop Bullying Campaign!
 Henderson Middle School had a great culmination to our week long anti-bullying campaign (October 22nd -October 26th).  Students wore different color t-shirts  to represent a different aspect of our anti-bullying campaign.  Students participated in a door decorating contest, created anti-bullying posters, and some of our students met with news anchor, Sophia Choi, from WSB-TV Channel 2 News.  It was a great week of activities and the excitement level was high.  
 
Ms. Patillo sends a special "thank you" to Ms. Jennifer Morris, Ms. Eliscia Brooks, Mr. Robert Mason, the HMS Student Council, the WHMS News Crew, and the Henderson MS PTSA.  They all did a wonderful job in making this week a big success.  
Be sure to  look for our student council students to be featured on a  special news segment on anti-bullying efforts in public schools throughout the state of Georgia. The segment is scheduled to air November 12th on the 5pm and 6pm news broadcasts on WSB-TV.
