Pi Week at Willard, 2008








Willard Middle School celebrated its 9th annual Pi Week with much creativity and dedication to the irrational number Pi. Students solved algebraic problems involving Pi, dedicated hours memorizing her digits, crafted poetry, raps, and songs and much more to honor the constant. Students completing 7 of the 10 activities were rewarded with a free slice of Pie at the end of the week. Seventh grader Ross Lai set a new Willard record by memorizing pi to 250 digits! Pi week was organized by teachers Ryan Chinn and Jake Disston. The Pi Week video was filmed and edited by Robert MacCarthy, 6th Grade Math/Science Teacher.
