Attendance and Lunch Count System

Mount the printed sheets to a surface to which magnets are attracted. Print each student's name on a note card that has a piece of plastic magnetic tape on the back. When each student enters the room he places his name card under the picture that indicates the type of lunch he will be eating. The attendance and lunch count is very easy and quick to accomplish with this system.
