Miss Lukesh started her teaching career after graduating from the University of Idaho in 2021. Go Vandals! She loves the opportunity to watch her students learn and grow each day.

Leandra Jones
 
Hello! My name is Leandra Jones, and I’m proud to be a 2nd grade teacher at Van Buren Elementary in Caldwell, Idaho. I’m a lifelong learner who loves helping young minds grow and discover their potential. Outside the classroom, I’m a busy mom of three amazing kiddos. I have a passion for reading, traveling, and exploring new ideas—whether through books or real-world adventures. I’m excited to be part of a school community that values curiosity, kindness, and a love of learning!

Miss Collins started her teaching journey in 2022. Her goal is to create an engaging and supportive environment where students can thrive academically and personally. When she's not teaching, you’ll find her skiing in the wintertime or wakeboarding in the summertime. She also loves to play volleyball, softball, pickleball, and ultimate frisbee!
