This blog contains information for Mrs. Pluta's classes at the Lorain County JVS. It is hoped that Our Classroom Connection will keep students engaged in class discussion outside the school day.

Annual JVS Food Drive


Each year, students at the Lorain County JVS collect food to donate to our local food bank.  While all donations go to Second Harvest, please be aware that they also supply the smaller food banks across our county.  Our yearly food drive is one of the largest, so please donate!

Election Day!


On Tuesday, there are a number of communities holding elections.  If you're unsure of your own, check the Board of Elections to see what races will be held in your town.  If you haven't registered to vote, there's a link at the Board of Elections webpage or you can pick up a form in my classroom.  Be a great citizen and exercise your right to vote!

Turn Your Clocks Back an Hour!

Sunday marks the end of Daylight Savings Time.  Before you go to bed on Saturday, turn your clock back an hour.  This is the time change we like--we get an extra hour of sleep.  Enjoy!
