About Me:
Hi students and families! I am Ms. Zmijewski (Ms. Z) and I am a first year teacher here at MMS. This May I graduated from the University of Connecticut (UConn) where I received my Master's in Curriculum and Instruction from the Neag School of Education. I spent the last two years student teaching, substitute teaching, and completing a math internship throughout Mansfield Public Schools, so I am looking forward to beginning my career in such an incredible district!
