LongHorn Steakhouse treated 14 students to a steak lunch, T-shirt, hat, and more as a congratulations for reading one million plus words this year!   

Students who reached their AR goals for the 2nd semester had a great time playing on the bounce houses, playing basket ball, hoola-hooping, eating snacks, watching a movie, and having a cookout picnic.

Students had a fantastic time during field day.  Thank you to Simmons Heating and Air for sponsoring our T-shirts this year.  This picture was taken before the Opening Ceremony .  Mrs. Wood and her class led CPS and CES in singing the National Anthem.  To see more, check out the pics on our Facebook page!

Nurse Tabitha for taking such good care of us!

Students and their families had a great time winning books during our Spring Bingo for Books night!

Check out these Fly Guys!  We had a great time at our Character Parade for National Library Week on April 14th!  Students and staff dressed up and strutted their stuff on our "runway" during our Character Parade.  We also joined in a Georgia Milestones song to "Uptown Funk" led by our resident songstress, Mrs. Wood, and her CES back up dancers.  

Last day is today!  We had some 4th grade fairies who wrote encouraging messages on the front walk for our awesome students!  Another fairy delivered special treats to students each morning to encourage them as well.  The kids have worked so hard, and we are proud of them!

Commerce Elementary School Governance Team

The Commerce City School System is a charter system.  As such, a Governance Team comprised of 2 parents, 2 teachers, the principal and 1 community member has been formed at each school.  This team meets approximately 6 times per year to make decisions regarding budget expenditures to support the overall school program.  The meeting calendar is set during the first meeting to help members plan ahead.   All team members, with the exception of the principal, serve 4-year terms.

A parent member’s term ends this year, and we need to elect a parent to join our team.  All parents are welcome to nominate themselves or someone else, and all parents receive a vote.  Nominations will be taken 4/17-5/12.  Elections will be held in an open meeting on 5/15 (4^th grade transition night) at 6:30 and 5/16 (2^nd and 3^rd grade transition night) at 6:00.  If you would like to be considered, please write your name below or email or call Mrs. Lindsey, Principal.
