\u201cAbsolutely, I plan to celebrate Pi Day every day until I die,\u201d said Mu Alpha Theta President Ryan Pike. On March 14, 2014, \u039c\u0391\u0398 held it\u2019s first ever Pi Day for the student body of Jamesville-DeWitt High School. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Pi, the ratio of a circle\u2019s circumference to its diameter, is a ubiquitous term in mathematics. \u201cAs head of the math department, I\u2019ve always felt guilty not having a Pi day,\u201d said \u039c\u0391\u0398 advisor Betty Wood. She explained that the chemistry teachers always celebrate mole day, so it was \u201conly right\u201d to celebrate Pi Day.<\/span><\/p>\n

    During activity period on Friday, 3.14, students met in the large cafeteria, and were able to buy baked goods, sing and recite pi poems, and had the opportunity to pie a teacher in the face. Many students, such as sophomore Cassie Galusha, junior Ben Wipper, and Pike, along with J-DHS Math teacher Diane Huyck, agreed that the best part of the event was when senior John Werbowsky pied math teacher Mike Klemperer. <\/span><\/p>\n

    \u201cIt was as marvelous as we had hoped,\u201d said Pike. He explained that \u039c\u0391\u0398 were uncertain about how successful Pi Day was going to be, as it was only their first one. The event raised somewhere between $200 and $300, and the money will be used to cover the fees incurred by various \u039c\u0391\u0398 events, as well as for the tassel received on graduation. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Many students have suggestions on how Pi Day 2015 can be made even better. This Pi Day is expected to be superb as the calendar date: 3-14-15, coincides with the first five numbers of Pi, 3.1415.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Sophomore Sargon Bebla and junior Charles Palin suggest that having edible pie for sale would be a great addition. They enjoyed the cupcakes and cookies that were for sale, but thought that pie would\u2019ve been the most fitting bake good to sell.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Junior Ryan Durkin thinks that a pie eating contest would\u2019ve been a good addition to the event. \u201cIt\u2019s a good way to show off your pie-eating skills and represent pie day. It\u2019s just another way to show off the eccentric talents that J-D has to offer,\u201d said Durkin.<\/span><\/p>\n
