About me!
Hello! My name is Jason Wacek. I grew up in Olivia, MN. My dad is a farmer on our family farm. I graduated from BOLD High School in 2000, and then went to college at Minnesota State University Moorhead where I graduated in 2005. After getting hired in New Prague right after college I got my Masters in Teaching and Learning from St. Mary's University in Winona. This is my 20th year of teaching for the New Prague School District.
My wife Leah, four kids, and I live in New Prague. Leah is an ELL teacher at the high school, middle school, and Raven Stream. She loves running, reading, traveling, and hanging out with the kids. Norah is 15 years old and going into 10th grade. She is in gymnastics, track, cross country, and church youth group. She loves to swim, craft, hang with friends, learn to drive, and babysit in her free time. Cara is 13 years old and going into 8th grade. She loves singing, dance, and musicals.. She also plays tennis. Ruby is 11 years old and beginning 6th grade at the middle school. She plays soccer and volleyball.. She could sit by the beach all day exploring in the sand. Finally, Simon is 9 and in 4th grade. He is ALL boy who loves football, soccer, baseball, golf, swimming, and fishing. His rough and tough personality doesn't represent that he has three sisters. All the kids love attending Camp Fusion Bible Camp every summer for 5 days
The big highlight of the summer was hosting family and friends at our house and pool! Our family loves to spend time together. Here are a few other FUN memories of the summer:
- Mille Lacs fishing with buddies - Izaty’s Resort
- ate at Sul Lago for the first time!
- watching Olympics as a family
- Ropes course at Kerfoot near Henderson with my family
- Watching Simon play kid pitch baseball for Veseli
- Minnesota Twins game - $1 dog night
- staying at The Old Barn Resort - biking on state trails and tubing down the Root River with four other families
- Grandview Lodge with my parents and sister’s family
- MN Viking Training Camp as a family
- 19 year anniversary with my wonderful wife
- MN Gopher Football camp with Simon and my father-in-law. Met PJ Fleck and players!
- road trip to Indiana with my oldest teaching her to drive
- U.S. Amateur Golf at Hazeltine
- Forrest Frank and Josiah Queen concert with my daughters
- I also paint houses as a second job, and was busy doing that a lot.
I am blessed that I get to share your child with you. I can’t wait to start a fresh school year with them. Don’t hesitate to call or email if you ever have any questions. I use the Campus Portal through Infinite Campus to email out quick messages throughout the year, so make sure your information is current. It was amazing seeing you all at conferences, and I can’t wait for the first day on August 28. I look forward to an excellent year! [email protected] - 952-758-1553
