One of our many goals as educators is to prepare students to be well-rounded citizens. As we are aware, there is more to school just academic learning. It is the place where students improve their social skills; learn to solve problems, and also to have fun. Extracurricular activities provide students an experience of learning and growth outside of the classroom. These activities help students build relationships with each other as well as provide them with mentors, coaches, and adults who encourage, guide, and hold them accountable. Extracurricular activities provide students with opportunities to succeed, to believe in themselves, make wonderful memories, and enjoy their school experience. Most importantly, I believe these activities offer students a sense of belonging, which is what most of us want- to belong!
