Cy Fair ISD hosted its first annual Summer Meals Kick-Off event at Francone Elementary School, in partnership with Power Up Cafe. This event aimed to raise community awareness about CFISD’s free summer meals program, providing nutritious breakfasts and lunches to children aged 18 and younger, as well as students with disabilities up to 21 years old.
