Letter: ‘It’s out turn to support Wilk’

Letter to the editor

It is my pleasure to write this letter as a supporter of Justin Wilk, who is running for School Board in Prince William County. As a parent, I strongly support Justin because he was an amazing motivator that taught in our school district for six years. Justin Wilk was my daughter’s 7th grade Civics and Economics teacher, at Woodbridge Middle School, Woodbridge, VA.

Justin Wilk always displayed a unique style of teaching, which motivated his students, beyond the time they spent in his classroom. In addition to teaching in the classroom, Justin Wilk coached hundreds of students in track, football, and served as an advisor to the Drama Club, and is now a consultant. As a consultant; he has help administrators to promote transparency;  and improved community relations.  

Over the years, I have had the privilege to volunteer in our Prince William County Schools, whereby I’ve meet many of his former students. All of them share the same positive stories about “Mr. Wilk”. My daughter and about 20 of her former classmates (and his former students) volunteered for his campaign because he supported them. They all said it was their turn to support “Mr. Wilk.

Lastly, Justin Wilk and his lovely wife Lori (also an educator) set such fine examples that my daughter is enrolled as a sophomore education major, in a Virginia public university. She has said, “because of Mr. Wilk I want to be a educator that my students will remember, and give back to my community.”
