Seeds Celebrates 2011 GED Graduates

December 15, 2011

Seeds of Literacy celebrated its 2011 GED graduates with a ceremony held on December 13th in the lobby of the historic W. 25th US Bank building. The event’s keynote speaker was Judge Lauren C. Moore, who has served with the Cleveland Municipal Court since 2003 and is the co-founder of the Get on Track program. Judge Moore praised the important work of Seeds of Literacy, a resource to which many in Get on Track are referred because of the programs’ shared focus on helping people change their lives through education. Other speakers included Seeds of Literacy Board Treasurer Paul Etzler, and graduates Aeisha Davis, LaShonda Cherry, and Fatimah Zahra, whose moving speeches related their determination and well-earned success. With over 100 graduates, tutors, and family members in attendence, the event celebrating the accomplishments of the students proved to be a great way to close the year.

With dedication and hard work, graduates passed all five parts of the GED exam: math, science, social studies, reading, and essay writing. Seeds of Literacy helped them to prepare for the exam by offering students the opportunity to learn a personalized curriculum at their own pace and receive one-on-one tutoring.
