Bement Schools Superintendent Weighs In On Return of High School Sports

An incredible celebration is how a Piatt County Schools leader describes the return of high school sports for her district.

 

Dr. Sheila Greenwood is the Superintendent of Bement Schools and says kids being able to play sports not only provides a sense of normalcy but it's also good for their emotional, social, and physical health.

 

 

Dr. Greenwood called the hiatus from sports difficult. She believes sports and extracurricular activities are such a big part of the development of students.

 

 

Many argue students who participate in sports often are more likely to be engaged in academics to remain eligible for those activities. Dr. Greenwood believes that is indeed the case and feels bad for the students that are losing opportunities they cannot get back.

 

 

Dr. Greenwood calls it a domino effect where kids who want to play collegiately are now behind in getting information to coaches at colleges where students who have been playing sports since August and September of last year have all those things in place.
