(SC) Mar 2 - Make-A-Wish school visit (Mt. Pleasant)

Post by NegativeEleven »

A teacher at Chesterbrook Academy Private School has seen so many of our event photos on Facebook, she asked me what it would take to have us invade their after-school program for kindergarten thru 3rd grade. She offered to pay the troops for their time, but I refused and said that money would be better spent with our friends at Make-A-Wish. Three troopers put on armor to do a quick Q&A with the kids (mostly "where's your ship?" and "where's darth vader?") and take photos to surprise their parents.

The three troopers who attended had plenty of trading cards for each kid to get one of each and as we left, the teachers presented us with a money order for $200 made out to Make-A-Wish which I put in the mail the next day. This was a great time and I'm glad it could benefit a good cause.

Garrison Troopers in attendance:
1. Chris Gould (TB)
2. Rusty Meyers (TK)
3. Jon Meyers (TK)

The $200 for MAW is so great!

Looks like the kids had a great time with you three. I couldn't have imagined real Stormtroopers and a Biker Scout coming into my classroom when I was in school. That would've been the best.
