Extracurricular are so important for the growth of kids, but sadly Malden Public Schools does not provide this at the Middle School level. You're probably wondering how this can improve the growth of students, but there are many, as stated the most important ones. One way extracurricular is important is that it exposes kids to opportunities and opens their minds to new interests. It also builds their teamwork skills and their communication skills. It helps the kids academic performance, just imagine sitting in front of a class for 8 hours. You wouldn’t be interested in what you need to know would you? But them having a chance to go outside and release your energy helps them focus. You may not believe this but extracurricular provides confidence to students in more ways then you could fabricate. We are requesting extra fundings for extracurricular in the Middle School level.
