Living Examples of Service

I often talk about the character values - pride, cooperation, responsibility, respect, integrity, service, and citizenship - that C-FB teaches to our students. Today, though, I want to give you a living example of those values.

Last Tuesday night, our district honored 271 team members for completing 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30, 35 and yes … 40 years of service with the Carrollton-Farmers Branch School District. Combined, these employees have served C-FB ISD families for 3,145 years. Their years of service have touched tens of thousands of students helping them to achieve their dreams. Amazing!

There was one really special moment for me, though. We paid a special tribute to our employees with 30, 35 and 40 years of service.

Our 30 year recipients are:

• LaDonna Conner 
• Bun Lim 
• Chip Melara 
• Sue Thompson 

Our 35 year recipients are:

• Glenda Brooks-Tidwell 
• Terrie Grimes 
• Kathy Hurley 
• Kathy Lanigan 
• Ben Priddy 
• Janet Truett 

And we recognized Jo Luttrell for 40 years of service. She has given four decades of service to our district helping us accomplish our goal of high achievement for all students. To Jo and the other honorees – Thank you. There are not enough words to express our gratitude for your commitment to C-FB.
