Commerce students enjoy day with Atlanta Falcons

For a group of Commerce High School students, a trip to the Atlanta Falcons Practice Training Facility was far more than a field trip. Students met Falcons players, including tight ends Kyle Pitts and Charlie Woerner and offensive tackle Brandon Parker, and the group thanked head coach Raheem Morris and the front office staff for their time and kindness.

"Unfortunately, not all of our students can participate in sports, so it's been a passion of mine to bring sports to them. Today, we did just that – and we'll keep doing it."
— Wes Massey, Commerce High School teacher

Massey also credited the Commerce City Schools administrators, parents, and paraprofessionals who made the day possible, calling the paras "the unsung heroes who make days like this possible."
