The Benefits of School Clubs: Back to School Edition

All>> With school right around the corner, many students may begin to feel overwhelmed and stressed, even before classes have started. The thought of pop quizzes, finals, and entering a new class may lead many students to dread returning back to school. To overcome these obstacles while entering a new school year, many parents may find comfort and relief that school organizations may actually help students enhance their performance and education techniques in the classroom, as well as establish strong social skills.

According to Bentley University’s website, many of the students' performances may be enhanced based on the student organization that the child will participate in. By encouraging students to participate in clubs and other school associations, they will develop educational and social skills that will prepare them for their futures.

“Joining a student organization presents many opportunities to learn more about yourself, your goals, and your strengths,” says the University’s website. “You can learn from how other students handle certain situations and test your current knowledge. You can also find out what you’re good at, whether that’s multitasking, staying organized, generating ideas, or serving others. This self-awareness will be beneficial in your future career”.

A consecutive schedule could lead to boredom in the classroom, which may eventually reflect on their grades, but by adding a school club, such as a science club, a student may immediately make that connection as a learning experience.

There are various learning opportunities that are provided by these school clubs that will allow children to progress into successful individuals as they become more involved and interactive in their education. Students may unknowingly begin to use the techniques learned within these diverse education settings, making them more engaged and challenged inside and outside the classroom.  

“You’ll get to learn what works and what doesn’t, and you’ll be able to take that knowledge back to the classroom, and then, of course, along with you in a future career,” states the University.

Leadership and working with other students are additional benefits to being a part of a school club. Students can interact with others, build relationships, and develop leadership skills that will allow them to become well communicative individuals in the future. They may also find their interest, whether it is in sports or educational courses, which will allow them to build their character.

There are extensive benefits of becoming a part of an organization, and by checking with your child’s school for such programs, students may become multitask able, socially acquired individuals through participation of their school clubs. Along with networking opportunities and developing communication skills, these students will be able to contribute to society by establishing educational and leadership skills that will lead to their future endeavors.

A residence shows visible damage from flooding, mud and debris following severe winter storms that began Dec. 23, which brought heavy rain and debris flows to mountain and high desert communities across San Bernardino County. This week, the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors approved recovery-related fee waivers to help eligible property owners repair and rebuild as response and long-term recovery efforts continue.
