Students had fun celebrating Pi Day, the international holiday celebrating the never-ending number 3.14159.
Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th (3/14). Pi “π” is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant - the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter - which is approximately 3.14159.
Pi has been calculated to over one trillion digits beyond its decimal point. As an irrational and transcendental number, it will continue infinitely without repetition or pattern, according to
PiDay.org, the holiday’s official website.
At Hidden Oaks, students participated in a variety of activities, including the annual Pi Day t-shirt design contest and door decorating contest. Cade Schanzenbach from Kelly McDermott’s class created this year's top design. More than 175 t-shirts were sold!
