School Lunches Survey Question Rough Draft

Last meeting we worked as a group and discussed what are some of the main issues we see in our community surrounding food and came up with one main conclusion: students at West Side High are not happy with the meals that our school serves. We want to make things better, but how? Our first step is to create a survey so we can send out to our fellow students to see what they think. Check out the document and add any questions you think we should include in the survey.
