Brenda Luna
2nd Grade

Originally from Denver, I taught elementary school in California for about 25 years. During this time, I taught third, fourth, and fifth grade and then STEM enrichment for Kinder through third grade students. I am thrilled to return to Colorado and teach for Tollgate Elementary. I enjoy traveling, exploring new places, hiking, kayaking, sports, reading, and learning.
