The Benefit of Sports & Extra-Curriculars - S2 E4

School is more than just an academic experience.

This week's 8th grade hosts, Salil and Shauna, discuss extra-curricular activities in middle school with classmates Makenzi and Nico. All four work through some nerves and awkward pauses to practice communication skills and healthy dialogue surrounding the place that sports and other after-school commitments have in teenage life.
