This year CFEF held the 12th Annual "Salute to the Stars Gala" on October 22nd. The black-tie event at Cy-Fair ISD's Richard E. Berry Center drew over 800 community and business leaders, elected and school officials. 

The  2009 was an incredible year for the event that raised over $145,000 for the grant program and student scholarships, bringing the grand total to over $1.1 million raised since 1998. The 79 teachers who were honored at the event were named Cy-Fair ISD "Spotlight Teachers" for the 2008-09 school year. Cy-Fair Federal Credit Union was the underwriter and has generously agreed to underwrite the 13th annual event in October 2010.

Each year, Cy-Fair ISD recognizes one teacher from each of its campuses - 50 elementary schools, 29 secondary schools and three special programs facilities in the 2008-09 school year - who represents a unique balance of skill, art, and heart in teaching students in his or her subject area or program.

The 12th Annual Salute to the Stars gala honored Cy-Fair ISD's best of the best, teachers who daily put student needs before their own will honored by Cy-Fair businesses and community members. 'Salute to the Stars' is a primary example of our community acknowledging that it values our teachers and our schools.
