A job well done!
To the editor:
After more than 30 years of dedicated service in Lee County Schools as a physical education teacher, assistant principal, health teacher and a most passionate mentor for generations of families and professionals; Mrs. Vickie Allender is retiring from Trafalgar Middle on April 24.
Looking back at how she has positively touched the lives of so many through the years, words could never completely express the feelings and emotions of her influence on those lives she has touched during her career. She will be deeply missed by those whose lives she has directly influenced, especially her former students. However, this is a time for celebration for a job well done.
With the barrage of sad news that streams to us every day, it is wonderful to know that this is not the end to a successful career, but a beginning to move on to fulfill other life-long dreams, adventures and endeavors. Wherever life’s journey may bring her, she will never stop being “Coach P.”, “Miss Parente”, or “Mrs. Allender.”
To Mrs. Allender, we say, “Best wishes on your first adventure in Alaska. We all wait in anticipation of what is to follow.”
With love and admiration,
Present and former students and families,
Present and former colleagues,
Friends
And Bob Allender
