Student voice is powerful! 💪 When we listen, we can identify challenges, remove barriers & connect students with caring adults who make a difference. Every voice matters, and every student deserves to feel heard, supported & valued. #YouBelongHCS #HenryCares
💙🐾 Today’s Henry Cares make-up session gave more students the chance to share how they’re doing. These check-ins help us listen, connect, and support our students—because belonging is a BIG deal! #YouBelongHCS @SparkleTSmith @PhallonTri @AWellnessGuy @DeeJohnsonHCS @Lakanijones
Wellness in action! 💙💛 Love seeing @WLE_HCS equipping staff with tools to support students when they need it most. Small supports can make a BIG difference in helping every student feel safe, seen & supported. This is what #YouBelongHCS looks like! #HenryCares
Returning with wellness in mind today. @WLE_HCS our staff now have their own “wellness toolbox” to make sure that a little support is always right there when a student is in need. @DeeJohnsonHCS @AWellnessGuy @DocJSMartin @Lakanijones @HenryCountyBOE #webelonginhenry
A caring adult can change a student’s school experience. When students feel seen, supported, and missed, they’re more likely to attend and feel they belong. Who can you check in on today? @OAK_HCS #YouBelongHCS #AttendanceMatters #HenryCares
@OAK_HCS has implemented an Attendance Support Program. Some of our teachers are assisting with checking in on students to encourage them to be present and ready to learn. Thank you Ms. Prather! @toi_mclaughlin @HenryCountyBOE @KenyattaA1913 @AWellnessGuy
What a wonderful way to celebrate those educators that give (and model!) M.O.R.E. This isn’t just another jeans pass- this is intentional recognition! Great job @DrNikkiColey2! #YouBelongHCS #HenryCares
We kicked off the week by celebrating @ugmswolverines
staff who give M.O.R.E.: Management, Opportunity, Resilience, and Energy! 🎁 What gets celebrated gets repeated. Thank you for going above and beyond, Wolverines! #GivingMOREMonday #HenryCARES #YouBelong @Lakanijones
It’s Mental Health and Wellness Facilitator Appreciation Week! 💙💜💚 Our MHWFs help students feel seen, supported & connected - one check-in, conversation and caring moment at a time. Thank you for helping students know they belong! ✨ #YouBelongHCS @HenryCountyBOE #HenryCares
A little Dolly magic and a whole lot of belonging! Shoutout to our amazing MHWF @ahdee315 at @WMSHCS for creating joyful moments, building connections, and reminding every student in the Wolf Pack that they belong! 🐺❤️🩶 #YouBelongHCS #DollyPartonDay

Wellness isn’t just for the kids! @HCS_Wellness is making sure that she is pouring into the adults as well! #YouBelongHCS #HenryCares
Sometimes Ms. Holmes @HCS_Wellness reminds us to put the Chromebook and felt tip pens away and enjoy each other. No data, no scheduling, no emails... Just us laughing and snacking. Thank you Mr. Hebert for helping us be artists for a little while.
Love seeing this in action! Way to make all of our students feel seen and valued! #YouBelongHCS #HenryCares
Students were asked to identify their CAB (Caring Adult in the Building). This initiative ensures that every student has a trusted adult in the building they can turn to for encouragement, guidance, and support.

Preparing for SY ‘26-27 by doing all the things that I love…celebrating with community partners, ensuring a welcoming climate for educators new to Henry, and providing support and skill building for new teachers. Our year is off to a great start! #youbelonginHenry

Due to the advocacy of Hickory Flat Elementary Mental Health and Wellness Facilitator Dr. Shamira Webb, Gov. Brian Kemp recently signed a first-of-its-kind proclamation designating November as Educator Mental Health Awareness Month across Georgia.
Earlier this week, Dr. Webb led a wellness session for teachers and staff at HFE, where she was celebrated by district leaders, Principal Dr. Dawn Blackwell, and her colleagues. Thank you, Dr. Webb, for reminding us that caring for ourselves is part of caring for our students!

Shout out to the amazing Dr. Webb and her tireless advocacy for educators! @HFE_HCS
@HFE_HCS MHWF Dr. Webb is a trailblazer for educator wellness across Georgia. Her passion and purpose remind us that self care is not selfish it is strength. When educators rise in wellness the whole community rises with them. 💙💛 #EducatorMentalHealthMonth
