extra-curricular activities that is not of the athletic variety is band and chess club.
I can watch a ball game and marvel at the talent and work required of the outfielder who at exactly the right second leaps up into the air and catches a ball which was destined to end up in the bleacher.

I hope that they can look at a stitched sampler and see the beauty of each even stitch that creates a whole picture. Maybe that is what this is all about, creating the whole picture, a picture of a whole person with multiple interests and talents and being able to appreciate those with different likes and abilities.
