User creation in CentOS

I am trying to create 10 users, each with a mydocuments directory in their home directory and this month's calendar in each mydocuments directory. I know there is a way using /etc/skel, but do not understand how. Any and all help will be appreciated. If you could give me the command lines with description would be great. NOT just looking for the answer, but to learn from it also. Thank you.

Mod Comment edit ba bakunin: Subject lines like "Please help" will - even more so when accompanied by a wild bunch of exclamation marks - not get you more or better answers. They just let you look more desperate. Please use descriptive thread titles.

NAME
calendar - reminder service SYNOPSIS
calendar [ - ] DESCRIPTION
Calendar consults the file `calendar' in the current directory and prints out lines that contain today's or tomorrow's date anywhere in the line. Most reasonable month-day dates such as `Dec. 7,' `december 7,' `12/7,' etc., are recognized, but not `7 December' or `7/12'. On weekends `tomorrow' extends through Monday. When an argument is present, calendar does its job for every user who has a file `calendar' in his login directory and sends him any posi- tive results by mail(1). Normally this is done daily in the wee hours under control of cron(8). FILES
calendar /usr/lib/calendar to figure out today's and tomorrow's dates /etc/passwd /tmp/cal* egrep, sed, mail subprocesses SEE ALSO
at(1), cron(8), mail(1) BUGS
Your calendar must be public information for you to get reminder service. Calendar's extended idea of `tomorrow' doesn't account for holidays. CALENDAR(1)
