Zoe Shapera

I am so excited to be teaching art at Plum Grove this year. I taught at Winston Campus for 11 years. I love sharing and making art with my students. I also love being outside -- enjoying nature, exploring new places, or just going for walks. Happiest moments are with my husband Charles and our two children, Arza, 6, and Micah, 4.

Looking forward to meeting you,

Zoe


Keven Hohenzy

I am the new 7th & 8th grade ELL teacher at Plum Grove Junior High. My teaching career started at the high school level where I first assisted in ESL at Willowbrook High School and later taught second-language students in Woodstock and at Glenbard East. I focused in middle school as an undergrad at Elmhurst College, and I continued my education studying English as a Second Language at Concordia University. Outside of teaching, I enjoy golf, volleyball, history, and I also volunteer with community theatre. I look forward to teaching junior high students and hope everyone has a successful school year.

2010-2011 PGJH School Supply List


Wanted:
Do you have less than 3 hours a month to help PGJH? If so, we need a Market Day Coordinator.

Can't do it every month, get a friend to help. You can hand out fliers to promote ordering and then show up on the 1st Wednesday of the month (4:30 - 6:00pm) to manage monthly pick up.

Each month supports a different club to help make money for activities. A Plum Grove teacher and Activities Club Students volunteer to sort, collate, and help move orders.

Questions, contact Jennifer Chamberlin


Walk Your Schedule
To all 7th Graders and New Students, come walk your schedule on August 23rd from 1-2pm.
