After School Programs - Samson

Each year reaching graduation, many students has yet to fulfill their requirement for the CAS hour in order to graduate. It includes creative, action, and services, the school itself includes some after school programs but not very many. There is a limit in what a student can choose from, some students has joined other leagues or teams on island to fill in their time because they find no excitement in their after school activities, SIS two main after school activities are basketball and volleyball. Some students does not find these sports interesting and hopes to join something different for a change, soccer, baseball, or football is some sport that are mention by students. The school already has a small number people and is completely understandable that there may not be many afterschool activities because of that main reason but it should be considered that students should have a say in the matter. Students should be able to vote whether they would prefer a certain sport over the other but not being able to do so because like mention the number of people joining the sports is the problem. For a school that requires students to get and do certain things the school should have programs or clubs of some kind to help students fill out their CAS hours and save them the trouble of searching everywhere and driving to certain areas in a difficult time. Achieving the CAS hours is definitely going to appear well on a student transcript, but the problems are some of the requirements or things a student should do is difficult for them. An example would be creative; unlike sports students can just join a sport and get it over with. Students must do something different for a change which is difficult for some mainly because they’ve got other things to worry about at this time.
