Commerce Elementary School

Even though the school year has just begun, we wanted to send a friendly reminder about the wonderful hands-on learning resources our school has available for families to check out! These games, activities, and learning materials are a great way to reinforce skills at home while making learning fun. If you’re interested in checking out these resources or would like more information, please reach out to Marlaina Anthony via email marlaina.anthony@commercecityschools.org. We look forward to partnering with you and your child for an amazing school year!

Ms. Greene’s 4th grade class had fun planting a garden this morning! Greg Buice, our School Food & Nutrition Director, joined students as they learned what plants need to grow and thrive and explored companion planting. For some, it was their first time planting vegetables, and they were excited to get started. Students planted tomatoes, peas, yellow squash, and potatoes, and we can’t wait to see what grows! Produce from the garden will be used in classrooms and the cafeteria to highlight the taste and nutritional benefits of homegrown vegetables. Thank you to Shirley Feed and Seed for donating the soil and mulch to support this project!
