Cutris Culwell Day

December 19, 2012 was Curtis Culwell Day! We went to a reception and retirement ceremony at none other than the Curtis Culwell Center.

Or as Sugar calls it (slowly and southern) The C. C. C.

It was so nice to hear what we already knew about my Dad. He is a great educator who cares for the future of education and readily fights for it in Austin.  He isn't intimidated by Rick Perry powerful people who haven't given enough attention, money or interest to public education. He has been recognized by many public officials over the past couple months and even by The March of Dimes for his contributions.  Since Lauren and I were born premature he has always felt very strongly about their organization and has made his school districts aware of their fundraising needs. Beucase of his leadership GISD was a top donating district!

I know he is going to do great things in Austin but I am beyond sad he is moving. Sugar is holding out for now, but not sure how long she can make it in Garland without him.

The girls were excited to get dressed up last night and go to Big's party at "Biggie's Big Top!" Their favorite part was playing on the stage with a microphone...
