CALLING ALL VOLUNTEERS!!!
We are going to install all of the door locks on our classroom doors this Saturday, August 6th. If you have a cordless drill, drill bits, a hammer and screwdriver we can use your help. We will begin at 9:00 am and work until completed. If you would like to help, please email smoss@commercetigers.net and I will send you further information.
We have received additional funds since our last post and will now be closing our gofundme. The City of Commerce and the Quapaw Nation both made sizeable donations to help complete this project. We would like to thank everyone that donated and helped make this happen.

THANK YOU!!!!
We have received enough donations to order a NightLock door lock for every classroom throughout our district. We have chosen to purchase the locks and get them installed ourselves to save money and make the donations go further. Look for a future announcement asking for volunteers in the installation of the locks. We would like to thank everyone that donated and helped make this happen. We will leave the gofundme open to continue to add locks to other doors throughout our system but priority one has been met and the locks are ordered. Commerce Schools and the Tiger Foundation would sincerely like to thank the following for making this happen -
