Principal's Newsletter 2025-2026

Dear NMS Families,

It is with great pride and joy that I share some exciting news with our school community — Mrs. Alison Zwick has been selected as the Project Lead The Way (PLTW) Outstanding Teacher for 2025–2026!

This recognition is a tremendous honor and a well-deserved celebration of Alison’s passion, dedication, and innovation in STEM education. Through her engaging teaching style and commitment to hands-on learning, she has inspired our students to think critically, explore boldly, and believe in their ability to design creative solutions to real-world challenges.

Alison embodies the spirit of PLTW — empowering students to become confident problem solvers and future leaders. Her energy and enthusiasm extend far beyond the classroom, influencing the culture of curiosity and excellence that we strive to nurture in our school every day.

Please join me in congratulating Mrs. Zwick on this outstanding achievement and in thanking her for all she does to make our school community shine. We are incredibly proud to have her as part of our team!

With Eagle Pride,
Principal Walton
