We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Principal Gary Diaz Zehrbach for his excellent service to Nuestro Mundo Community School these past four years. His knowledge, openness, commitment, and spirit have been infectious and critically important ingredients in the success of the school. We wish him well in his future endeavors!
We would also like to welcome Javier Bolívar as the new incoming NMCS Principal, beginning July 1, 2008. We are excited about the prospect of working together to build on the current strengths of NMCS to achieve even greater success in the future!
