Mr. Quijada recently polled all the students attending Matthew Gage Middle School. One of the questions he asked was, “What is your favorite cafeteria lunch?” The choices students could select from included hot dogs, burgers, tacos, pizza, or spaghetti. There were some interesting differences when the results were examined by gender.
