Mix It Up Day
Three people responded to questionaire that Sarah sent out. Feedback was positive.
Found over 50 stickers in lunchroom at end of lunch time. It was determined that we would not use the stickers next year. Next year staff can write on hand with vis-a-vis or use another method.
There were some gender specific tables this last time, but overall they were well balanced. Some younger students cried from being scared/nervous, but worked out great at the end. Those student who eat in classroom switched rooms and also had an opportunity to mix it up.
Feedback was that we do it again next year.
