Mrs. Carpenter and Ms. Roche will devise a survey that is student-friendly for the band members to complete in the spring of 2017. Additionally, we will ask the students for verbal feedback throughout the project. Mrs. Carpenter will tabulate and include the results in the final report. The students/parents/administration/School Board will also be presented with a summary of the project/survey. We did not have an Arts and Cultural Heritage survey last year, as we received an Arts/Education grant that did not require it.
