HOUSTON–Cy-Fair Federal Credit Union announced that Dana Herzog of Yeager Elementary, received a brand new 2017 Ford Focus. Cy-Fair FCU presented Herzog with the surprise award during the Cy-Fair Education Foundation (CFEF) Salute to the Stars gala.
"Herzog is the heart of Yeager Elementary School. She is constantly looking for ways to help our struggling readers and is always current on the latest research-based teaching methods for literacy. Herzog brings so much fun and joy to our campus. Her “can do” attitude when met with a challenge sets a precedent for us all," said Laura Barrett, principal.
The annual event, sponsored by Cypress-Fairbanks Medical Center Hospital, celebrates the contributions of all Cy-Fair Independent School District educators and recognizes the top teachers, para-educators and support personnel from across the district. CFISD principals selected more than 90 “Spotlight Honorees” for their outstanding dedication to students and incredible work in CFISD schools. During the Salute to the Stars gala, honorees were entered into Cy-Fair FCU’s New Car Giveaway, which awarded Herzog a brand-new Ford Focus.
“Teachers are the bedrock of our community. They pour endless hours and energy into our children and we recognize and thank each and every one of these outstanding professionals,” said Cy-Fair FCU President and CEO Cameron Dickey. “This car is just one gesture of our gratitude to the incredible educators who selflessly serve our local Cy-Fair kids.”
