Commerce Enrollment is UP! We have a few good positions open.

We are so excited to see everyone back at school tomorrow! CMS and CHS Students please start your day tomorrow (8:00 am) at the following places - CMS students (6th-8th) - CMS Gym Freshman - CHS Gym Sophomores - Room 18 (Bayless) Juniors - CHS Cafeteria Seniors - Room 11 (Bolles) Let's have a great first day!

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.

GO TIGERS!

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 - Quapaw Nation Eastern Shawnee Tribe Ottawa Tribe Miranda Varner April Johnson Christina Riggs Graham Heather Kelly Alondra Solis Jessica Self Adriana Rodriguez Marie Wallace Yulianna Gutierrez Catie Boman Rachael Dawn Lorie Gann Kit Ulrey Maycee North Breanna Craghead Kennon Law Office Syler and Angel Riggs Steve and Stacy Moss Tiffany Garner Nathan Webb Kevin Reading Jan Lee Jazmin Pinales Pam Waltz William White Bobbi Ollis Beverly Johnson Jessica Wade Jonathan Duboise Cessna Foran Jeanne Corn Rhonda Klindworth David Dean Breanna Elliott Ryan Rutledge Chandler Edwards Shala Radcliff Dorothy Williams Halle North The students and staff are very appreciative and will greatly benefit from the added layer of safety these will provide. https://gofund.me/03977244 GO TIGERS!
