Summer coming to a close means homework and early mornings for students, but extracurricular clubs and activities can take the gloom out of school days. Numerous organizations can fill students' after-school hours with entertaining and educational experiences. Clubs also can allow students to reach out into their communities.
Some churches also offer activities for children after school and on weekends.
Even schools offer extracurricular activities to fill free time on afternoons and weekends. Schools also have organizations such as Spanish, math and science clubs. These provide educational activities that help students choose a college major or vocation after graduating high school. For instance, if a student becomes involved with showing livestock or judging, this could lead to a career in agriculture or animal science.
