                                                                     Keepin' It Going!!

SHOUT OUT to resident Beverly Williams! Pedestal Gardens' High School Diploma class ended in May and a few of our residents were very close to be able to take the High School Diploma Assessment but they needed to take one or two more prep session. Ms. Beverly took the initiative to keep the class going by calling everyone in the class and having them commit to going to another session which is offered at South Baltimore Learning Center. Everyone who were in the classes held at Pedestal made a commitment to register for the class which starts in July. Resident Kim Jacobs spilled the beans☺on Ms. Bev stating that she is grateful that Ms. Bev called her and other classmates to tell them about the class because it makes the journey of striving to earn their diploma easier. KUDOS to Ms. Bev (on the right side on her phone)☺#PPF

                                              Second Time Around--High School Diploma 

Earning your High School Diploma is on easy feat, but the residents of Pedestal Gardens have taken charge of pursuing their education. Because of our partnership with Baltimore City Community College, this is Pedestal's second time hosting the High School Diploma classes. We are hoping that all residents earn a high enough scores to qualify to take the test (567 or higher in Reading & 566 or higher in Math). Congrats to Kimberly Jacobs, Beverly Williams and Myron Coleman who already qualify to take the test! You can do it!

                                                            There's A Shero At Pedestal Gardens
I LOVE when residents make lasting-positive impacts in not only their lives but the lives of others. Eolongda P. has been a resident at Pedestal Gardens for under a year and she has already started making strides! Ms. Pittman, was hired by one of our partners Soldier Security  and within one month of employment, she did something that gives me chills every time I think about it...she GAVE someone a second chance at LIFE.

In our world there are so many negative situations that surrounds us daily and when I hear something that warms my heart or makes me smile, I hold on to the notion that there is HOPE in a world that is truly unpredictable and is unraveling daily.

Ms. Pittman's story is that she was working at her designated work-site and as she was being attentive and watching the security cameras, she watched as she was not sure if something was wrong when Steven F. stumbled. She waited and watched intensely and then saw him clench his chest. She then ran from the basement floor to the third floor and when Steven F. saw her he asked was she security and when she responded "YES", he literally fell into her arms, where she then called 911 and initiated C.P.R. which SAVED Steven F.'s LIFE! How OUTSTANDING it that!! We at Pedestal Gardens are honored to display such a SHEROIC act of humanity on our website!
