Lee Christian School senior Whitney O'Quinn (center) helps sixth-graders Bentley Dong (left) and Brandon Jones (right) as they put their handprints in a collage which eventually resembled the Greek letter Pi during the school's Pi Day celebrations. Pi Day is celebrated on March 14 because the letter is a mathematical constant often simplified to 3.14. The school's celebrations also included a game of pin-the-pie-on-the-hungry-guy, the completion of a paper chain with about 2,800 links each holding an accurate digit of Pi (a project that can go on for years since Pi's digits continue infinitely), a hula-hoop race and the pie-ing of a faculty member as well as canned foods and money collected for donation to Christians United Outreach Center. It was organized by Melissa Staley, who teaches algebra I, precalculus and AP calculus at the school.
