Pi Day is a holiday that has been celebrated for a long time by math teachers everywhere. Western High School is no exception to this. The math teachers who teach geometry are the ones who celebrate this most, however. Pi, as most know, is the circumference of a circle, the first five numbers come out to be 3.14159. It is celebrated on March 14th, which is 3/14.
Teachers tend to have their students bring in circle shaped foods, such as cookies, pizza, pie, cake, quesadillas, etc. They take the day off to watch movies, eat food, and just relax for a day.
It is a fun day for students and teachers, as they have no work to do, and can just do what they choose to do. However, no teachers that celebrate Pi Day would take the time to speak with us, but we did have the chance to speak with the son of a math teacher. He told us "Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th, and it is celebrated with lots of food."
