Request from Mr. Cicenia: We are looking for something for kids to use when they are done with their work during the rotation period.  

Games like; chess, checkers, dominoes, strato-matic baseball (kids love this), battleship or even the game of life.  Gently used is more than acceptable and appreciated.  Anything to get them to think out of the box and have a friendly competition to expose you to more people socially.

Games can be dropped off to security...Attn: Mr. Cicenia.
