3/14 = Pi Day

Today, March 14, is when we celebrate Pi Day. Every year current eighth grader, Eddie Couri, has recited as many digits of Pi as his brain can hold. This year he was able to recite 2025 digits of Pi. WOW! It takes him about 13 minutes and he is fun to watch through this process. Congratulations, Eddie. It has been so interesting to watch you every year. Click here for the video.
