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.
