Sound System:
Mr. Peterson discussed the bids that were collected for a sound system addition to the Turner Elementary gym. There was a bid from Rose City in Portland, and the pricing raged between $3,800- 4,000
The Turner staff all agreed on wanting a sound system.
The TPC talked about how a sound system would be a good investment, and beneficial to the children. Music would create a more positive and motivating atmosphere during physical education. The sound system would have a better quality projection for assemblies, movie nights, and classroom performances.
Motion put forth and passed to fund $4600 to purchase a sound system for the Turner Elementary School gym.
Math Incentive:
This is a program designed for kids to learn their basic math skills in a certain amount of time. The program motivates learning addition, subtraction and multiplication facts; the kids will be tested and awarded. The incentive this year is a visit to the University of Oregon arena on March 1, 2012. Participants will watch a Ducks basketball game, have a photo taken with the duck and tour the campus.
Scholarships: $15.00 per person. Mr. Peterson is working on trying to get the cost down to $10.00 dollars.
Previous incentives have been: Blazer basketball and Winter Hawks hockey game

There is a formal letter that Melissa Casady can provide, if anyone has connections and would like to solicit on behalf of Turner Elementary.
Turner Tornado Gear: Tornado gear will go out for sale in October, and will be announced in the Turner newsletter.
Author visit
Suzanne Selfors from Washington will be visiting the Turner Elementary students on the 3rd week of March 2012, during Love Reading, which will be a three week event. We will be promoting reading and writing. Students will be writing books and linking them with authors, have themed days, celebrating Dr. Seuss’ Birthday which is March 2nd, etc. Suzanne Selfors is known for having activities, costumes, PowerPoint’s, and really getting the students involved in participating. She has written Smells Like Dog, and Smells Like Treasure. She will have assigned times and be working with the classrooms or in smaller groups with the students. The total cost of her visit will be $750.00 paid by TPC.
The TPC requests to purchase a book for each teacher that the author has written to introduce her work, and announce her visit to the students. Each book is $6.99 x 8 teachers= $56 Or 8 books total. A selection of Suzanne’s books will be purchased, and can remain in the library after that for students to continue to check in and out.
Colene Copeland, author of "Pricilla" series was suggested by Lisa Newton as a possible author for next year.
Open Discussion or Suggestions
Dan Petersen gave a brief update on the turnout of Mr. Tie dye visit. Students really enjoyed creating their own shirts. Turner Elementary paid $1,500.00 in addition to donations to cover the cost. Cascade Track program also donated to Turner Elementary.
The TPC approved donating $500 to assist with the cost of Mr. Tie dye.
Rachel Regan solicited assistance to plan this year’s cow pie event. She will be generating a list of assigned jobs for the event. Cow Pie Classic funds will continue to go towards health and science curriculum.
Travis Newton offered to provide the school with a microwave for the students to heat up their lunch meals. This would imply that a staff member would have to monitor the students, because some students may not be able to access it themselves for safety and liability purposes. The Mr. Petersen and TPC members agreed with the suggestion.
