text: Many high schoolers and middle schoolers make up friend groups based on what they are interested in, if a student loves art but is new to the school this is a way for them to make new friends and find out where they fit in and who they want to be around. Teachers can also use this time to form study programs to help the students that are falling behind in class or just need a small boost to help them understand the material better. In a program where the teachers and students are working together they can form a closer bond and this will make the student feel much better about coming to class. There are many reasons to join extracurricular activities and I think many students would feel the same way once they try it out, the rule the principal has put into place will only boost the students in the right direction. Dear, Principal
