Join us this Friday, May 8th, in the Middle School gym for our Art & Tech Show from 6:00–7:30 PM!
Our students have put in a lot of hard work on their projects, and we’d love for you to come see their creativity and innovation on display. Concessions will be available.
We hope to see you there!
Commerce students got to hear from a real youtuber today. @buffsgarage talked with them and answered questions about car maintenance, youtube life and setting goals to meet your dreams. He brought great insight and energy to the studens in a way that relates to them right where they live.
