A recent study by professors at Connecticut College has shown that students who are involved in extra curricular activities benefit socially, psychologically, and academically. Jennifer Fredricks, assistant professor of human development at Connecticut College reports, “In contrast to the media reports…the oldest youth who were involved in multiple activities were thriving – the more activities the better.”
From dance team to Science Olympiad to drama club, Memorial offers many after-school programs for students as well as all of the athletic programs supported by Hilliard City Schools. Getting your child involved in school activities will benefit him/her in many ways, plus they may just have fun!
Feel free to contact your child’s guidance counselor for help in finding the right activity for your child.
