| Go Campagna! #38 |
Recently, our middle child decided he needed a sport he could call his own, and football was his choice. Secretly, I dreaded the endless mandatory practices and stinky jerseys and hours on a concrete bleacher. But to watch my son invest his time on the field and off practicing, studying the play book, and making lasting friendships has been a true delight. It's so fun to hear the guys yell, "hey Campagna, good game." Every Friday is Jersey day, and the boys all plan when and what tee shirt/ Jersey color they'll wear to celebrate their team.
I'm glad for the end of the busy season, but also can't wait to get him back in for spring training. I'm resisting the pleas for wrestling and lacrosse right now. The amazing news is that all the 7th grade team did well in their academics throughout the three months. Nicholas has all high B's and A's. Last year, during a talk the principal gave at the elementary school, the students were all encouraged to be active in some school related extra curricular activity, such as sports, or chorus, or ROTC, or a club. Research shows that students who participate in these activities actually do better in school and are more likely to finish well.
I can see that for my kids. The ones that are involved are motivated to keep up in their work, and they are doing great!
