Sheely = Amazing Administrator

My son was lucky enough to be a student at the Manhattan New School .... Shelly was an amazing principal and a wonderfully caring person. MNS was the best school my son ever attended.

Inspiring!

This book makes me want to book a flight and make arrangments for an interview with the Manhattan New School administration and teachers! A very enjoyable book to read, Shelley Harwayne makes you feel a part of this fabulous school she and her faculty have created.I have recommended this book to many of my colleagues, all of whom are as happy with the purchase as I have been. A very important and inspiring book for the education of young children in the new millenium!
