Did you know?

Children develop patience, listening, and leadership skills when they participate in a group activity, such as a sports club or when learning a new dance routine. By joining an after school club at PCA, students will learn the importance of teamwork and how to successfully engage in a group.

After school clubs give them the chance to help each other learn a new step or score a goal. Students will grow more comfortable with vulnerability by experiencing that it’s okay not to do everything right the first time and build the confidence to ask for help from a teacher or a fellow peer.
