Tony, they become Candidate Officers, Candio's, at the end of week 9. They will be given their Candio boxes at the end week 9. The boxes will be stored in the mall room until they can be distributed. We mailed our boxes at the beginning of the week. We used the USPS medium flat rate boxes and had a great time decorating them. Hobby Lobby has a section of military decorations in their photo scrap booking section. Make sure you write "Candio Box" in large print on the outside so that the mail room knows what it is and to deliver it. Last, remember not to use glitter. That is a nightmare to get off of their uniforms. Our family sent multiple boxes so that they could be shared with classmates who did not receive one. We loaded all boxes with their favorite snacks and some healthy choices. We also included photos of family members holding up signs of congratulations.
Last good point, with Candio comes the return of their cell phones.
They are so close. The last three weeks, Candio phase can be really good.
