STEP INTO A CAREER WITH OPTIONS! WE'RE LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT PEOPLE, ARE YOU ONE OF THEM?

NEWS WE LOVE!
Isabel “Izzy”
Josendale, 13-years old, wanted to do something to help first responders during
the COVID-19 pandemic, because her dad is a Fire Fighter/EMT in Virginia and
her step-dad is an Assistant Sheriff and Bureau Chief in the Prince George’s
County Sheriff’s Office (PGSO). Izzy wanted to make some colorful, protective
face masks that could be worn and washed and worn again.
After
some discussion and an understanding that public safety civilian employees who
work in the essential support roles, are issued surgical style masks that
aren’t meant for repeated uses, Izzy decided to put her budding sewing skills
to the test and began making face masks for agency civilians from a variety of
materials she had laying around. Izzy’s first few masks fit her stuffed animals
and her younger siblings but practicing helped her get pretty good at
production.
In
the process, Izzy learned that Joann Fabric Stores were giving away packets
with enough materials to make 5 masks and convinced them to donate 6 packets.
In the breaks between her daily on-line school work and household choirs Izzy
set out to make 30 masks, the first batch of which step-dad Lt. Col. Roccapriore
(Rocky) delivered to the Domestic Violence Intervention Division (DVID)
Processing staff earlier this month.
As
often happens with a busy production line, Izzy’s work schedule was interrupted
several times with unexpected extra school work and other unscheduled
priorities, but on Tuesday April 21st Izzy decided to burn the
midnight oil – past her regular bedtime - until all the remaining masks were
done. They were delivered last week to staff in Warrant Processing, Warrant
Investigations and several to the Teletype section.
Izzy
said it was tough work, but she is happy to have helped to make things a little
better for those trying to stay safe while they serve the rest of us.
