Principal, 5th-8th Grade Teacher
Justin Wasser
Education:
BS in Education at Martin Luther College – 2013
Experience:
Teacher – Crown of Life Lutheran School Warren, MI
Principal and Teacher – Trinity Lutheran School Nicollet MN – current
Personal Philosophy:
“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.” While Timothy was not talking to children specifically, Jesus uses a child’s faith as an example. Combining these two thoughts points me to make sure that each child is a redeemed child of God and I want them to be that example. I am going to instruct them mentally and physically so they can use their God given talents to glorify our Lord in all they do. This effort is not just myself, but me and their parents working together for the betterment of their child.
Favorite Bible Verse:

Personal Interests:
Basketball, Soccer, Baseball (or any sport for that matter), Wisconsin sports teams (Go Pack Go!), and occasionally video games.

As a teacher, I want my students to know that God loves them, is always there for them, and that they can always turn to God. I hope to inspire children to learn, to wonder, to love one another like Jesus loves us, and to live in peace with each other. If I can do that, I will feel that I have reached my goal! Each child is a unique gift from God, and I will love them for the child they are!
