On October 14, the Storm Chasers Booster Club held a meeting to discuss and outline plans for the future of Turner School. The Booster Club is responsible for sponsoring many of the projects and resources for the community and students, thanks to sponsors and fundraisers. Businesses and families can be official sponsors of the club by purchasing and earning gold ($500) or silver ($250) status. Their sponsorship is advertised in the school cafeteria during high school basketball home games.
At this meeting, the Booster Club also discussed switching its bank account for easier access and convenience when adding new signers.
This year, the Booster Club is operating concessions for the junior high and high school basketball seasons. Secretary of the Booster Club, Crystal Grabofsky, serves as the manager for concessions. Students and community members will volunteer to work shifts for each game. A new incentive, as of last school year, encourages students in grades 5-12 to volunteer as workers to participate in the ski trip at Showdown Montana. The Booster Club plans on funding this trip, likely scheduled for March 2026, for the students again this year.
Other projects the Booster Club looks to contribute to include: Updating banners in the gym, funding the Hudl statistics program for high school basketball, and refinishing the gym floors (a project presently in the works). In June 2025, the Booster Club also provided funding for improvements to the track and field program. At that time, concrete was poured for the long jump pit, discus pad, and storage building.
The Booster Club continues to seek new members willing to donate their time and dedicate themselves to serving Turner School. Membership costs $25. Community members and alumni are encouraged to contact the Storm Chasers Booster Club at StormChasersTHS@gmail.com or reach out to a member for more information.
