This year, Pi Day (March 14) occurred over Spring Break, so the Lower School celebrated on March 7 instead. As Pi Day approached, the Tenth Agers challenged themselves to memorize at least 25 digits of pi. The highlight of the day was a special assembly. Mrs. Holt selected two lucky students - one Ninth Ager and one Tenth Ager - to throw pies at Mr. Wareheim! During math class, the boys and girls also started creating color-coded "pi chains" using strips of construction paper. Each color represented a different digit (0-9), and the students learned that there is no distinct pattern for the digits in pi. The Tenth Agers recently completed their chains, which are displayed in the Tenth Age homerooms and Mrs. Holt's classroom.

March Reading Madness
Last Friday, the Lower School kicked off its annual "March Reading Madness" with an assembly in the auditorium. Please encourage your son to "Read Around the World," which is this year's theme. Students have received their 'passport' to travel and record books they have read involving countries around the world. Suggested reading lists have been provided to help them get started on an amazing journey through books! If you have any questions, please be sure to contact Mrs. Stone.
