My name is Leah Zustiak and this is my 19th year teaching at Turtle Lake.  I taught 4th grade for my first three years and this is my 16th year in 3rd grade.  

I live in Forest Lake with my husband, Brian, and our three sons, Bennett (age 9), Micah (age 7), and Blake (age 4).  It is so fun to watch my boys learn and grow!  I enjoy reading, golfing, and spending time at our family cabin. 

I graduated from Minnesota State University, Mankato, in December 2007.  In March 2012, I completed my Masters in Education and K-12 Reading Endorsement through Concordia University. I became LETRS certified in 2023.

I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to teach at Turtle Lake and have great expectations for my third graders this year!

I can be contacted by email (leah.zustiak@mvpschools.org) or phone (651-621-7776).  I check my email throughout the day.
