Attention Commerce families: Our internet and phones are down due to a fiber cut affecting multiple districts. There’s no ETA yet. Since school is out, if you need to contact us, email the office or wait until next week. We’ll update everyone once we’re back online. Thank you for your patience!
Mr. Ellick's Native American Studies class spent the last few weeks learning about Pow Wows and their importance to the Native American Culture. As a class project, students made their own Pow Wow drumsticks. Great effort and creativity by these CMS students.
