π Day is an annual celebration of the mathematical constant π. It is observed on March 14th because 3, 1, and 4 are the first three significant digits of π. It was established by Larry Shaw in 1988, an employee of the Exploratorium science museum in San Francisco, California. The celebration typically involves eating pie or holding pi recitation contests.

On π Day, students and teachers at FDR High School organized activities related to Pi Day. During lunchtime, the teachers organized a fun pie-eating contest.

Competition Rules: In the first half of the competition, the use of hands is not permitted, and participants must eat the pie using only their mouths. Drinking water is allowed. In the second half, when the host shouts "Use your hand," participants are allowed to use their hands to hold the pie. The winning teacher will receive a berry pie, while the losers will receive a pie identical to the one used in the competition.

The competition was intense, with both teachers giving their all for victory! However, Mr. Alchalal (the teacher in the blue shirt) had a significant lead. Despite Mr. Kowalik's (the teacher in the black t-shirt) efforts to catch up, he still fell behind Mr. Alchalal. By the halfway point of the competition, the outcome was already clear. While Mr. Alchalal had finished eating his first piece, Mr. Kowalik was still struggling with his.

In the end, Mr. Alchalal emerged as the winner, earning himself a delicious Berry pie, while Mr. Kowalik, who lost the competition, received another pie. The students formed a circle, cheering and cheering on the teachers, creating a lively atmosphere at the event.

That concludes the report on π Day at FDR High School.
