Some folks leave a mark on a community that lasts for generations. 💚

Earlier this summer, Pelham Strong had the joy of gathering with retired Valley Elementary teachers for a special luncheon. We shared a meal, caught up with old friends, laughed a little, reminisced a lot, and took some time to celebrate these wonderful teachers.

For so many Pelham families, these folks were a special part of their children’s lives. They taught, encouraged, loved, and believed in generations of Pelham students.

We are so thankful for the years they gave to our schools and for the lasting impact they have made in our community.

It was such a sweet afternoon, and we were honored to spend it with them. 💚

Do you recognize a favorite teacher in these photos? Tag them, tag a former classmate, or tell us about a teacher who made a difference in your life. We’d love to hear your stories and celebrate these special folks together!

Be Kind. Do Right.

What an incredible day for our community!

Thanks to everyone who participated in this year's Pelham Strong Walk & 5K and Home Run Derby. Because of your support, we were honored to present a donation to the Pelham Parks & Recreation Foundation last week, helping invest in youth sports and adult recreation opportunities that strengthen our community.

This year's One Mile Fun Run was especially meaningful as we celebrated America's 250th anniversary by honoring Paul Revere's Midnight Ride! A fun way to connect history with community while creating new traditions together.

None of this would be possible without our runners, families, volunteers, sponsors, and community partners. Every registration, every cheer, every volunteer hour, and every contribution helped make a difference.

Pelham Strong exists because of this community, and we're grateful for everyone who continues to show up, give back, and invest in the people and places that make Pelham such a special place to call home.

Thank you for helping us make an impact. We can't wait to see you next year! ❤️🏃🇺🇸⚾

PELHAM STRONG’s Paul Revere Midnight Run ✔️

What an incredible night! Energy was high, mission accomplished, and now we are officially *exhausted*. It’s way too late (or early 😅), but it was 100% worth it. 🇺🇸

Time for a long nap… and then we’ll get back to sharing all the great moments with you. Stay tuned!
