text: Finally, extracurricular activities are a great way for students to get active. This may be physically, in the case of a sport like flag football or working out in the school's fitness room. However, it could also mean getting active in the school, like working on the yearbook or serving on the student council. Students can also help out their communities through extracurricular activities. One example is an environmental club that participates in cleanups for a park or their school, building gardens, and spreading awareness of climate change. Getting active in an activity also cuts down on time students spend at home on electronic devices. This generation of kids spends a lot of time on cellphones and playing video games, so after school activities are a way to make students' time after school well spent.
