We've been so busy I almost missed posting this week's Terrific Tigers!
Congrats to this week’s Terrific Tigers! These students were nominated by their teachers for showing the Positivity Project traits- traits focused on students of strong character, integrity, and caring for each other. We will recognize a group of students each week for P2 Traits and all students are eligible. Display those character traits and the next winner might be you!


Homecoming spirit week dress up days start tomorrow! Tomorrow is Jersey Day. Let's show our TIGER SPIRIT!


Our new Book Bike was popular this morning! Thank you to Dr. Powell and Mr. Purcell for your collaboration!






Parents,
Progress Reports were sent home today along with iReady Diagnostic Reports for the August administration. Please take some time to review your student's progress report and reach out to teachers if you have questions. Please review the diagnostic reports with your child as well. If you need help reading the report, I made a short Youtube video to explain the different parts. Thank you for being an active member of your child's education.

Parents and community,
The teachers at Commerce Middle School have organized an unbelievable event to honor veterans for Veteran's Day this year. It is called Field of Flags and we would love you to help us decorate all of the field in front of CMS with a sea of American Flags for Veteran's Day.
Each flag in the Field of Flags honors a different hero. And behind each flag is a unique story—a story about courage and freedom. A story about sacrifice. A story worth honoring.
This Veterans Day, Commerce Middle School students will set up a field of American flags, all to honor local veterans and raise critical funds to support our ill and injured heroes.
Each flag is a donation of $10 to represent one veteran—and our unwavering commitment to serving all veterans after they’ve sacrificed so much for our country. All donations will raise critical funds to support Disabled American Veterans (DAV) life changing services for veterans in need and their families.
If you would like to "Fly a Flag" for Veteran's Day you can donate at the link below. Each flag is $10 and you can sponsor as many as you wish. Thank you for your support!
