Some impressive 9-10s artwork to brighten your day! Students were tasked with folding their paper in a specific way so that when it opened up the scene would expand. #manhattancountryschool #mcsencasa #progressiveeducation

On Monday we will kick off our Alumni in Action week where we will celebrate different alumni and their impact on the world. As teachers, lawyers, entrepreneurs, advocates, artists, and more, our MCS alumni continue to take action and cultivate a world that is more just. As a preview for next week, today we will celebrate Mary Trowbridge '76 for 35 years of commitment and dedication to MCS. Mary has worked as both a teacher and an administrator and is the true definition of what it means to be part of the MCS community. Thank you Mary. #manhattancountryschool #mcstogether #progressiveeducation

Mondays are the perfect time to journal your thoughts to prepare for the week ahead. With pen and paper in hand, the 6-7s worked on their weekly journal entries as a class on Zoom. We encourage you to follow their lead and start your own weekly journal - what a wonderful time capsule especially during En Casa! #manhattancountryschool #mcsencasa #progressiveeducation
