CMS eighth graders watched the powerful theater production, "From the Fires: Voices of the Holocaust," on Wednesday morning. The play traces the life of Rachel Gold, a Berlin teenager, and her experiences from 1937 to 1945. The play follows her from the inception of the Nuremberg Laws, through deportation to Auschwitz, and finally the death march to Mauthausen. The company from Port Jefferson-based Theatre Three has visited CMS for more than 20 years to spread the play's important message. "It's still as powerful today as it was then," CMS assistant principal Frank Agovino told the students. CMS will soon welcome 97-year-old Holocaust survivor Meir Usherovitz to the school. Usherovitz similarly visited the high school earlier this month.

Commack sixth and seventh graders were motivated by Rohan Murphy to overcome any obstacle confronting them during an assembly Wednesday. The middle school wrestling team then was thrilled to receive pointers during practice from the former Penn State wrestler, who achieved great heights after a birth defect led to his legs being amputated at age 4. “The kids gravitate to him,” principal Michael Larson said. “From his speech and his experiences, they learn that they can overcome any obstacle they may be facing. The message definitely resonates.” Said Murphy: “I’m so appreciative that Commack brings me in each year to speak to the middle school students. This was my 10th year speaking here. I just thought it would be fun if I came down to wrestling practice and wrestled with some of the students for a little bit.”
