HOUSTON–Cy-Fair Federal Credit Union has named Barbara Ramirez of Birkes Elementary as the winner of its annual Cy- Fair FCU giveaway for teachers. Ramirez has the option to choose from either driving a new lease vehicle for three years or apply a $20,000 credit from Cy-Fair FCU toward the purchase of a New Vehicle at Northwest Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram.
Cy-Fair FCU presented Ramirez with the surprise award during the Cy-Fair Education Foundation’s Salute to the Stars gala.
“Barb is an outstanding example of a dedicated and a passionate professional who ensures the success of all students,” said Stacie Everson, Birkes Elementary School principal. “She builds confidence and instills a love of learning in each of her students."
The annual event, underwritten by Cy-Fair Federal Credit Union, 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, the credit unions said.
“Teachers are heroes without capes. They pour endless hours and energy into our children, often giving of their own personal time and means for the good of another,” 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.”
