Citrus Students Celebrate with a Slice of

So, what do March 14th and pie have in common?  Seemingly not much, at first glance.  However, according to Kelly Allen, Mathematics Coordinator for Secondary Instruction, "Pi is an irrational number with an infinite number of digits to the right of the decimal point.  The digits extend to infinity with no repetition and no pattern.  Pi is the ratio of the circumference of any circle to its diameter.  3.14 is an approximation of Pi that is commonly used in calculations, so we like to celebrate this special number every year on 3/14."  And what better way to celebrate Pi, than with a slice of pie?

This year, the 14th of March fell on a Saturday but that didn't stop the students at Citrus High School from celebrating all things Pi.  Naturally there was pie, but the festivities didn't stop there.  The students enjoyed Pi music (some written by students), Pi art, a Pi facts video made by one of the math teachers and featuring staff and students, Pi face painting and campus-wide decorating with posters, chalk and window paint.  One inventive student even shaved , the symbol for Pi, onto his head!

Math Teacher Melissa Uilbarri was the force behind Citrus High's annual Pi Day celebration.  Mrs. Ulibarri said that it was very rewarding to see such excitement about a math concept and that both the students and staff had a great time.
