[Written by Anya Thompson]
Pi Day at CedarBridge Academy was a mathematical marvel, rain or shine. Despite the gloomy weather, the Math Department, led by the Instructional Leader Ms. Keshia Henry, didn’t allow a few drops to dampen the activities. With quick thinking and lithe organization, Ms. Henry seamlessly relocated the festivities to the Central Hall, turning a potential washout into a mathematical masterpiece.
Students gathered eagerly during the lunch hour, buzzing with anticipation to put their mathematical prowess to the test. From pi recitation challenges to listening games, and even a pi digit memorization contest, there was something for every math enthusiast to sink their teeth into.
But what’s a Pi Day celebration without some delicious treats? Students had the chance to indulge in sweet victory as they competed for the ultimate prize: pies and juices! With each correct answer and enthusiastic participation, students earned the chance to win these delectable delights, adding an extra layer of excitement to the festivities.
Throughout the excitement and friendly rivalry, there was a greater understanding of the significance of Pi Day. The mathematical constant π is given special prominence. The irrational number π represents the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. Pi Day, observed on March 14th, commemorates the relevance of π in equations.
As the rain continued to pour outside, the warmth and camaraderie within the Central Hall generated a sense of oneness and belonging that transcended the elements.
As the last pies were claimed and the last drops of juice were relished, there was a sense of accomplishment in knowing that Pi Day at the Bridge had been a huge success. Thanks to the Math Department’s creativity and effort, students not only had a fun-filled afternoon, but they also got a better understanding of the beauty of Pi and the marvels of math.
Many thanks to the CBA board Chairwoman, Ms. Lindsay Simmons, and Principal, Mr. Kenneth Caesar for providing the student prizes and the pies for staff lunch. Overall, the team transformed a dreary day into a fantastic celebration of all things pi! Till next year, may the joy of mathematics continue to inspire.
