Queen Mary Is Celebrating 100 Years In Peterborough With A Day Of Celebration On June 1st

/

Queen Mary Public School is celebrating 100 years in Peterborough this year, and the big celebration takes place June 1st, 2013 at the school from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. (1445 Monaghan Road).

Then, that night alumni and community members will come together for a “Nuit Blanche”-inspired evening at ARIA nightclub, from 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. You can register for the special day at queenmary100.ca.

Also, in conjunction with this, their 100th year, Queen Mary is looking for sponsorships to help them update their auditorium.

Their goal is to raise $25,000 to update the auditorium and install three smartboards, which would be about half the expected cost of the improvements.

There are various sponsorship opportunities available, ranging from platinum ($5,000) to bronze ($350). Those interested in sponsorships can email questions to qmparentcouncil@hotmail.ca.

Check out what these Two Peterborough teens created as part of a school physics project...in 2006

/

As it says here in the December 28, 2006 posting of the video on YouTube, "This pure work of art was created by two genius students at TAS Secondary School in Peterborough, Ontario. This was a physics project in grade 11. The objective was to create a cardboard chair which would hold at least 350 lbs, and up to 1000 lbs. Needless to say these two students took it upon themselves to make a creation above all creations. Making the chair was one thing... the second part of the project was to ADVERTISE it! So here you go. The iPad ad. Enjoy." 

And the update given on January 27 of this year: "Yeah, I know... we had the name first, haha."
