For Tooele County School District, this is May 24-28, 2021.

This spring, hundreds of our elementary students learned about the life cycles of various species in a firsthand way. Thanks to the Tooele Education Foundation and a grant from Cargill, students in 95 classrooms across the district either observed caterpillars grow into butterflies, chicks hatching from fertilized eggs in incubators or cared for plants and goldfish in an aquaponics set up.

According to Earthday.Org, on April 22, 1970, 20 million Americans protested for a healthy, sustainable environment. By the end of that year, the first Earth Day had led to the creation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the passage of the Clean Air, Clean Water, and Endangered Species Acts. Fifty-one years later, the annual Earth Day celebration continues. Earthday.Org’s theme for this year is Restore Our Earth. It focuses on natural processes and emerging green technologies that can restore the world's ecosystems.

May 3-7 is Teacher Appreciation Week and we need your help. Please leave us a note about a teacher who has made a positive impact. Notes will be posted on the TCSD social media sites and also shared with the teacher. Thank you.
