Commerce Public Schools would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the Quapaw Nation Marshal Service and the Quapaw Nation Emergency Management Service for hosting 36 of our students today for their Shop With a Cop program. The morning started off in our high school cafeteria, where our wonderful high school cooks served breakfast to all the kids at 8 AM. After shopping at Walmart with the officers, the students will return to school, and some of our own students will help wrap the gifts. Finally, our school resource officer, Marshall, will be delivering the presents to each child’s home, acting as our own Quapaw Marshal Santa Claus.
It’s a fantastic event, and we are so thankful for all who made it possible!







Making some holiday memories...Ms. Crawford's PreK Class and their Gingerbread House!

💙🐯 Support Staff Appreciation Week 🐯💙
This week, we celebrate the incredible people who keep Commerce Public Schools running strong every single day!
Our support staff make sure our students are fed, our buildings are clean and safe, our classrooms have what they need, and our schools operate with care, consistency, and heart. They work behind the scenes, often without the spotlight — but our schools simply couldn’t function without them.
To every custodian, cook, secretary, paraprofessional, bus driver, maintenance worker, nurse, aide, and every other support professional in our district:
👉 THANK YOU for serving our students with pride.
👉 THANK YOU for caring deeply, working hard, and showing up every day for our kids.
👉 THANK YOU for being the heartbeat of Commerce Public Schools.
We are proud of you.
We appreciate you.
And we couldn’t do this without you. 💙🐯

🇺🇸 Honoring Those Who Served
Yesterday, our students helped kick off the River Bottom Sportsmen’s Great Deer Hunt for Veterans, a special event that brings disabled veterans from across the region together for a weekend of fellowship, gratitude, and the great outdoors.
Our students performed songs, readings, and tributes to welcome these heroes and show just how much we appreciate their service and sacrifice. The energy and respect in the gym were unforgettable.
We’re proud that our community is home to such a meaningful tradition — one that reminds us that service, sacrifice, and small-town gratitude still matter deeply.
Thank you to the River Bottom Sportsmen, the Mid-America Chapter of Paralyzed Veterans of America, and all who make this incredible event possible. 💙
📸 Here are a few highlights from the assembly — a true celebration of patriotism, pride, and the power of community.
