opportunity to honor my parents by serving them in their final years is one I cannot let pass.” Ledbetter specifically mentioned his 91-year-old father and what it will mean to be able to enjoy some time with him “This school system has so much to be proud of,” he said “It has been a blessing to be here but also a blessing to understand my need to go The opportunity I have with a 91-year-old

can’t do the job part time because we have people who can do the job very well and better than me full time.” He said he will look back fondly on his time with PCS and will always consider himself a

leadership,” he said “I will watch Pelham’s continued progress with pride and satisfaction knowing that I was able to be a small part of it Thank you to all of you who have and continue to work hard
