Rocky Mountain Elementary School kindergarten students enjoyed "swimming
in the ocean" during an activity by physical education teacher Josh Sponsel as
part of the National Geographic Giant Traveling Map event early last week at
the school in Cowley. Pictured here are students (l-r) Brooklynn Jenkins, Allie
Dickson, Malachi Larson, Isaac Rivera and (below) Fredrick Dickson. The map
was spread out on the floor of the multi-purpose room at the school.
