Extracurriculars and why you should attend them: • An extracurricular is any before/after school activity that includes a group of people • Involvement in extracurriculars reduces the chances you will drop out of school. • Extracurriculars help with the social aspect, your future and your academic performance.
Social Aspects: • These activities allow students to meet new people, work in groups, and enhance their social skills. • Extracurriculars help them to meet new people who most likely have the same interests as them • This also allows students to learn how to work in groups and learn compromise.
Future: • Attending extracurriculars allows students to have a better chance at getting into a good school as well as job. • Schools look for activities that will build up your group working skills as well as leadership. • These activities allow students to become more organized as well as manage their time. • They learn to manage time by balancing family, friends, school/homework, and their extracurricular.
Academic Improvement: • Like I mentioned in the first slide the school drop out rate is very high, almost 1.2 million students drop out of high school each year. • With extracurriculars your chances of dropping out decrease. • In addition, your grades increase, one reason this is possible is because these activities reduce stress • These activities also help you learn life lessons that you cannot learn in a classroom.
In Conclusion… • Extracurriculars help students socially, academically, and their future. • So next time you hear an announcement about an after school activity think about joining!
