March 12th

While Pi day is March 14th (3/14), it falls on a Saturday, and SJB has conferences on 3/13.  Therefore, we will be celebrating our Math holiday this year on 3/12.  There will be games, prizes, fun, and of course, pi (PIE).  Real pie.  Students, make sure this is one day you do not miss.  Staff, as always, you will be included.  More to follow!! π 🥧

Our Pi day was an overwhelming success.  First, students had a chance to sample many different types of pies.  Apple, Dutch Apple, Cherry, Pumpkin, Peach, Blueberry, and Strawberry Rhubarb.  I had to get more at lunch!! 

Then the real competition began.  How far can a person memorize the decimal places of Pi?  A total of 32 students from grades 5-8 attempted the test.  We even had a teacher score an 18.  Way to go, Ms. G.

The Top results are:

125 - Terezka (7) 118 - Kayla (8) 102 - Marylen (8)

91 - Ritta (8) 52 - Molly (7) 46 - Lucas (6)

42 - Aria (7) 33 - Alexa (7) 33 - Stefan (7)

I am sooooooooooooooooooooooo proud of all of them.  However, in competition, there are winners.  In this case, it was a lady sweep for the top 5. 

Congratulations to everyone who participated and thanks for all the help from the entire staff.  Pictures are below.  π 🥧
