"th graders, under the facilitation of their Math teacher, Laurel Janewicz, have learned to take data, analyze the data and tell a story with it. They are demonstrating their understanding of Math concepts, data graphs, misleading graphs and communication skills.

The survey compiled data about the school's extra curricular activities, homework habits, parent involvement, student engagement, sleep patterns etc."
