Each year, Cy-Fair ATPE honors outstanding teachers by sponsoring tables at the annual Spotlight Teacher Gala. Maryetta Easton, Spotlight Teacher from Lowery Elementary, is pictured here with husband, Ollie, and daughter, Malaika.

Cy-Fair ATPE also sponsored a table for Willbern Elementary. Monica Carpenter Robinson, ATPE member, is pictured here with co-Spotlight Teacher honoree, Carrie Higgins.

Brittany Hilton, senior at Langham Creek High School, was reunited with former second grade teacher, Ginger Picone, at this event. High school students serve meals donated by the Outback Steakhouse to teachers, guests and sponsors. Proceeds benefit the Cypress Fairbanks Educational Foundation. What a worthwhile way to honor such dedicated professionals!
