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
