Turrill summer students are "happy" campers

Turrill students have fun at summer camp.

It was a fun day during Turrill Elementary School's summer camp Thursday, July 16th. As a reward to students for good attendance, attitude and behavior there were a variety of fun activities for students to participate in.
Students had the chance to hone football skills with members of the Lapeer West varsity football team, learn how to "paint" on the computer, make clay figurines, how to do one of the latest line dances, make tradable cards and work in Turrill's very lush garden.
Students are given points on a "Effort Passport" and then given a choice of several activities to choose from if they reach a minimum goal that rewards attendance, behavior and academic effort.
Next week the students will have a field trip as a reward, said teacher and summer camp co-director, Mrs. Sara Taylor.
