[CASL-L] [EXTERNAL] Breakout Edu Kits

[Patricia Goad]

Since we could not use our Breakout Boxes for the last year and a half, the
kids have been asking about them.  I'm setting up 2 for next week.  Yes, I
also use the lock locker in a basket and ask that they show the solution
prior to handling the locks to avoid playing around with them.
Does anyone have any suggestions for "prizes" in the box besides bookmarks,
food (we can offer now)?
Thank-you!
Patti
