In science class we have been learning about concussions for several weeks now and throughout the many weeks of hard work, I realized how life threatening concussions are. I realized that we need to keep our environment safe from concussions by keeping our school sports safe by wearing protective wear, knowing how to treat students with concussions and knowing how to find out if students have concussions. Clinton Township Middle School has many amazing sports opportunities for students here at CTMS but is everyone aware of how dangerous they can be if you aren’t wearing the right protective gear? People may think it’s ridiculous to wear padded helmets in sports like soccer, but it’s better than possibly causing damage to your brain.
