text: Students should also participate in extracurricular activities because it will help them do better in school. Extracurricular activities will help improve grades. If you are on a sports team, there might be a certain grade or GPA you have to keep. If you dont have a high enough grade, then you will be encouraged to do better and get your grades up. They will also improve relationships with teachers. If you are in a club that is run by a teacher you already have, then you will want to show them that you are a good student, even outside of class. You might even be able to ask for extra help. Students will also have more help with their work. This also relates to making new friends. If you are doing an assignment and you need help, then the people in your sport or club might be able to help you. Some of them might even have classes with you.
