Adopt a Sailor
Dear Concord Families,
For the 10th year, Concord has the privilege of adopting a group serving our country. This year is very special as we are adopting a sailor who was a CES student and who graduated from Garnet Valley in 2012! She attended Penn State, graduated in 2016 with a BS in Meteorology and Oceanography and completed 4 years of ROTC!! Needless to say, we are all extremely proud of Samantha and are humbled to be able to give back to her and her fellow Sailors and Marines.
She is currently stationed on the USS Bataan which has been deployed to the Middle East and Europe. She will be gone several months.
We are asking for support from any CES families and staff who would like to participate.
Please find a list of suggested items below:
healthy snacks (nothing that may melt)
water flavor packets
adult coloring books, colored pencils and pens. Small pencil sharpeners
playing cards or small games
word search , Sudoku or crossword puzzle books
SPF chapstick
Bobbi-pins (women must wear hair off shirt collar)
Hair Gel
baby wipes, Clorox wipes
laundry pods
small personal hand sanitizers that can attach to belts or fit in pockets
any hygiene items
We will collect items from April 18th thru April 28th. We are very grateful to our HSA for providing us the funds to cover the postage.
Samantha would love to hear from our students, we will include any notes or cards they provide.
Thank you in advance for your generosity,
Sue Baumes
