This is the year for the 7th annual student faculty basketball game. A big tradition here at MKA, large donations are made by the money we raise. This year, MKA will be supporting Team Zoey primarily, but also the Montclair Volunteer Ambulance Department.

The Chinese New Year was on Jan 23, 2012. We are currently in the magnificent year of the dragon, specifically the water dragon. The dragon is the mightiest creature of all the zodiac animals and places 5th in the cycle. Here is some helpful information from the web site ChineseZodiac.com: Dragons have character traits like dominance and ambition. Dragons prefer to live by their own rules and are usually successful by themselves. They’re driven, fearless when challenges come up, and willing to take risks.

Dragons have very short tempers.Health Considering their hard-working nature, Dragons are usually healthy overall. They do get stressed and suffer from time to time tension/headaches, likely
Hugo is an artistic film masterpiece by the famed director Martin Scorsese. It is based off of the critically acclaimed bestselling book: The Invention of Hugo Cabaret by Brian Selznick.

Extraordinary director Martin Scorsese wonderfully directs this breathtaking homage to his famed craft: Film.
