Congratulations to Dr. Nadia Makar, our José Martí STEM Academy STEM Supervisor and the mentor to countless Union City students, who was honored on Saturday, April 25, 2026 by receiving the Mentor of the Year Award at the MentorU Awards Ceremony. She also received a proclamation from the Council of Newark, one from the Councilwoman-at-Large of Newark, and one from the Mayor of Newark.

From classrooms to communities, our students are learning the importance of protecting our planet. Every action, big or small, helps build a more sustainable future.

José Martí STEM Academy’s Nardos Teklu and Union City High School’s Juan Andres Marin Villafane were honored at the Hudson County Unsung Heroes Annual Awards Ceremony in recognition of their outstanding leadership, character, resilience, and dedication to their community.

Please be advised of this important community event coming up on Saturday April 18, 2026 at the José Martí STEM Academy Field.
