Today is Pi Day. Mr. Perry and his students celebrated Pi Day early since the actual day fell during our spring break. Pi Day is an annual celebration of the mathematical constant π. Pi Day is observed on March 14 since 3, 1, and 4 are the first three significant figures of π. It was founded in 1988 by Larry Shaw, an employee of the San Francisco, California science museum, the Exploratorium.
Elsberry Girls Basketball NCAA Tournament Fundraiser
$10 will buy two blindly drawn teams in the men’s NCAA Tournament. If one of your teams wins the championship, you will win $170! I hope to draw the teams on Sunday, March 12th after the tournament bracket is revealed if all of the teams have been bought by then. I will send an email (please provide your email) with the list of everyone’s teams after they are drawn. You can email me kkoch-dowell@elsberry.k12.mo.us if you are interested or let one of the high school girls basketball members know you are interested. Thank you for your support of the Elsberry Girls Basketball Team! If we have more people show interest and can fill the teams twice we will have two winners.
