A Call for Old Tennis Balls!

The students of Saklan have learned a backyard cricket game known as bats.  They have become very skilled at using a plastic bat to hit a tennis ball. Unfortunately, during this process many tennis balls have been lost to the creek. So we would like to make a call for old tennis balls. If you have a collection sitting around and you are not sure what to do with them, please consider giving them over to the recess bat games.
