The Community Outreach Centre, Faculty of Education, Queen’s University presents
Science Rendezvous in Kingston!
It’s Where People and Science Meet!
Snakes, turtles, glowing pickles, fire bombs, fingerprints and DNA footprints…all this, and so much more are on the SCIENCE RENDEZVOUS KINGSTON 2012 program at Grant Hall, Saturday May 12, 2012. Arrive at 10:00 a.m. and hear the Kingston Town Crier launch the event. Then spend the day visiting more than 40 stations where you can explore scientific principles by interacting with cockroaches and fossils, solar panels and robots, and celebrate top off the day with a bowl of ice cream…made with liquid nitrogen! Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Engineering, and Computer Science…come and experience all of the ways in which science impacts each and every one of us, each day, all day long.
Thank you for your support of this important community event.

AS PARENTS, WE ARE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF YOUR CHILD'S SAFETY AND OF UNINTERRUPTED INSTRUCTIONAL TIME IN YOUR CHILD'S CLASSROOM. Therefore, we are asking that all parents/guardians please follow LDSB guidelines by checking into the office to sign your child out. DO NOT go to any classrooms looking for your children. Children will be asked to come to the main office for pickup. Also, we are trying to avoid last minute calls to the office with pickup instructions. These :-re also interruptions to the classroom teacher. We understand that emergencies arise, but we would appreciate your co-operation in this matter also. Thank you for your understanding.
