Superintendents Corner
Our schools offer an abundance of opportunities for students to become actively involved in something of personal interest. Clubs, the arts and athletics provide students with participation that enhances the learning experience. The benefits for students who choose to get involved in just one extra-curricular activity reach far beyond the immediate participation. Students who engage in these opportunities typically have improved academic performance. Extra-curriculars allow for exploring interests and creating broader perspectives. Involved students tend to have higher self-esteem, improved mental health and increased social opportunities to make friends.
Many essential life skills are learned through involvement in extra-curriculars. Goal setting, teamwork, time management, problem solving, leadership and public speaking are soft skills that will apply in other areas of the learning environment and beyond. Not to mention the resume building such activities provide for jobs and college applications.
We encourage all students to find at least one activity that will help them broaden their learning experience. The benefits are immense!
