May is National Physical Education and Sports month. Unfortunately, due to the new grass needing a little more time to take root, Jr. Olympics week scheduled for this month will be moved to June 5th through June 9th.

Every month students research a state for geography. The state for May is Utah. Students will use the encyclopedia, internet, and other resources to collect information on Utah. So, parents you may be asked if you know anything about Utah.
