STRONG – Students celebrated Pi Day with a very appropriate fundraiser last week, raising money to support a classmate battling cancer.
A coin collection event raised more than $1,300 to donate to a fellow student. The end of the March 16 event culminated with students raising funds for the opportunity to throw pies at their teachers. Second graders and sixth graders raised the most money, $361 and $231 respectively, and threw pies at their teachers, Emily Brittelli and Yolanda Smith.
Now that’s the way to teach a Pi lesson–connect to the heart (and face of your teachers). Go Emily and Yolanda! Hope that was fabulous Maine blueberry pie!
