Halloween is on Wednesday and if you have kids, your house will soon be full of candy! We believe that candy can be a special treat for kids, but frown upon children keeping their entire bag of Halloween spoils. We recommend letting children know ahead of time how many pieces of candy they'll be allowed to keep (some parents do it by age, some just set a specified limit every year) and then finding another use for the rest of the loot!
So, what do you do with the extra candy? Bring it to Boot Camp, of course! We will be donating all extra candy to Operation Gratitude, a non-profit organization that sends care packages to troops overseas. Including personal letters or pictures with your candy is encouraged! We'll be accepting donations during our regular office hours (MWF 10am-2pm) on Ford Island through November 5th. (Ford Island Boot Campers can bring their loot to class.)
We wish you and your families a safe and happy Halloween!
