Action Research Week 3

Week 3 has required even more refining for my action research plan.  Last week I considered three options and found myself most excited about an inquiry on the culture and community experienced in the school.   My inquiry is What part does the long history of the school play in the present school culture and how can that culture help in marketing and creating a stronger school community?  I am a bit concerned about being able to collect enough data and analyze the data for my research.  Because of the 140 year history of the school, I will be able to collect enough historical data but analyzing the connection between the history and its effect to the school culture and community may provide more of a challenge than I am prepared for.  I would appreciate any suggestions.
