text: Students that are doing extracurricular activities tend to become more involved with their school. Being in these activities gives them a chance to get to know the people in their learning environment. Studies have show that every student who gets into activities are performing better in school and receive better grades. When I got involved with extracurricular activities I felt more welcome in my school environment because I could recognize more faces around me. So I'm assuming that other students would feel this way too once they join an after school activity.
