The event looks to celebrate the contributions of all CFISD educators, recognizing the top teachers, para-educators, and support personnel from across the district. And Ramirez was chosen out of more than 90 CFISD professionals.
"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."

According to a press release, as the winner, Ramirez "has the option to choose from either driving a new lease vehicle for three (3) years or apply a $20,000 credit from Cy-Fair FCU toward the purchase of a New Vehicle at Northwest Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram."
"Teachers are heroes without capes," said Cy-Fair FCU President and CEO Cameron Dickey. "They pour endless hours and energy into our children, often giving of their own personal time and means for the good of another. This car is just one gesture of our gratitude to the incredible educators who selflessly serve our local Cy-Fair kids."
