MKA's Parents' Association has a Banner Week!

This was a remarkable week for MKA’s Parents’ Association as volunteers organized and executed two back-to-back and extremely successful events at The Manor in West Orange.

Opening with a Wednesday night Preview Party, followed by a full day of shopping on Thursday, PAMKA’s Winter Boutique, led by chairs Ashley Di Geronimo, Risa Barash-DiLorenzo and Nancy Wolk, was an unqualified success. Shoppers enjoyed perusing and purchasing items from over 35 vendors, including hand-crafted bowls created from woven strips of old T-shirts made by MKA’s Pre-K, 2^nd and 3^rd graders as part of a sustainability and service learning project which raised funds to help paint the Crane House.

Thursday also saw the official conclusion of the 2013 PAMKA Book Fair when an Author Luncheon, chaired by Beth Milke and Renee Rivlin, hosted baker, blogger and humorist Allison Robicelli, co-author of Robicelli’s A Love Story with Cupcakes. Ms. Robicelli entranced her audience (who also got to sample some of her cupcake recipes), signed large quantities of books and happily reported that she’d “had a blast!”
