We have just had our first successful club day for the
year. Students have the opportunity to
meet at least once a month for clubs. If
your student missed this month, he/she can still sign up for October. We offer 41 clubs! WOW!
Clubs are a great opportunity to get to know other students,
participate in community service projects, and learn leadership skills. Take a look at most college
applications. Colleges want to know what
clubs and extra -curricular activities students participate in. They are looking for well-rounded
individuals.
Research shows the more students are involved at school; the
more successful they are in college.
Jacquelynne Eccles, from the University of Michigan, states,
“Involvement in
prosocial activities was linked to positive educational trajectories and low
rates of involvement in risky behaviors. In contrast, participation in team
sports was linked to positive educational trajectories and to high rates of
involvement in one risky behavior, drinking alcohol”.
If your student missed signing up for clubs in September, he/she can do so before the October club day. They will need to see the club sponsor.
Bottom line—Get
involved whether its clubs, sports, church activities, community service,
etc. Get involved!
