Mostly events like fundraisers, school gear, sports contests and competitions are organized every year to motivate children in getting involved in social activities apart from studies.
Sports contests are one of the most common ways used to promote good athletic students and the rest of the people in cheering for them. It is one of the best parts of school life where the entire school is decorated and cheering for their favorite school teams. Participation in educational and sports events teach students importance of values like good team spirit and sportsmanship in life. Students are also motivated to form groups like cheerleaders and volunteers to help in organizing the event together. They are free to cheer their favorite sportsmen in the contest. Many organizations also invite parents along with faculty members to witness and cheer for the students. Students of different age groups are involved in different activities like decorating the podium, monitoring the crowd, organizing food stalls and so on. All these activities give them a break from the regular hectic academic schedules and also give them an opportunity to mingle with the students of other schools and colleges.
It is of prime importance for any educational institute to teach and maintain school spirit among students. It is observed that students who get involved in community activities also show better academic performance. Ultimately schools with strong school spirit have better attendance, higher grades and more community involvement than other institutions who only work towards completing courses. School management and authorities can think of adding a fun factor by organizing theme weeks. They can also urge students to participate in as many as events as possible. They can also guide students in creating school banners and provide every possible help in achieving success of the event.
