Survey Responses

On my survey I had ten responses. 70% of responses were from girls and the other 30% were males. Half were juniors and half were seniors. This shows that there are more juniors and seniors then sophomores.In this class more people do not play a sport. Also most people go to the sports games and think we can put flyers up to get more people to go.
