Incase of Indoor Recess...
Board games are located in the closet behind Ms. Chafin's desk
It is the supply managers job to get out the bucket of games... NO ONE else should be in Ms. Chafin's closet
During indoor recess we should have 6 inch voices
You may choose a successful spot for recess... as long as your successful!
