My Cedarwood Surveys


Here are the surveys I wrote and had the school secretary email-burst out to the faculty and parents at Cedarwood School. The development director at Cedarwood is quite keen on what I am trying to do and is helping me a bit. She suggested also printing out hardcopy of these and putting them in the parent mailboxes, which she is probably correct in assuming would be a surer way of delivering to them and getting a response from them.
