We will have two Solar Eclipses this school year!. The first is this Saturday, October 14th - only a partial eclipse here in Georgia in the early afternoon. Any student or adult purchasing a meal this Friday October 13th receives a free approved eclipse-viewing pair of glasses. We will repeat this on Monday April 8th for a much more complete eclipse experience here in Georgia (65-75% coverage of the sun) just after lunch here in Commerce. Again, anyone purchasing a lunch on that Monday will receive a free pair of eclipse-viewing glasses. Those wishing to purchase a pair may do so for $1. Happy and safe viewing from Commerce School Nutrition.
Congratulations to our 2023-2024 Teachers of the Year.
