New Educator Luncheon
At the beginning of each school year, Grapevine-Colleyville Education Foundation and their community partners host a New Educator Luncheon for all new educators in the district. This is a 50+ year tradition where local businesses and community members come together to show these new educators how valued they are in our community.
2025 LUNCHEON& SPONSORS
The 2025 New Educator Luncheon was held at the Grapevine Convention Center, where we welcomed our incredible new GCISD educators aboard for the journey ahead!
This special event was generously sponsored, once again, by beloved community partner Steve Brown, owner of Esparza’s Restaurante Mexicano. Though Steve is no longer with us, his dedication to education and community continues to make a lasting impact. His legacy of giving lives on through this memorable luncheon in his honor.
We also want to thank the community for their support of our sponsors—each new teacher received a $50 Amazon gift card to help outfit their classrooms without having to reach into their own pockets.
