QUEENSBURY, NY, March 14, 2019 — Every week during the school year, TCT Federal Credit Union honors local educators and school employees for their outstanding efforts during the year.

Mr. Henderson has done many trips to help raise money for the student along with letting the kids have lunch in the classroom with him and making a pancake breakfast once a week. This has been a special school year thanks to the efforts of Mr. Henderson at the William H. Barton Intermediate School.
