Having just wiped the whipped cream out his eyes, SeDoMoCha Middle School grade 8 math teacher Ryan Nickerson is forced to take an extra large helping of the topping to the face thrown by eighth-grader Marie Hartung during the school’s PI Day on March 14.

The middle school gathered in the gym for several competitions and winners of each grade level who could recite the most digits of the non-terminating ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter — Hartung properly recited over 230 digits — could choose from one of several teachers to hit with a pie while their peers cheered them one. Grade 7 math teacher Nichole Martin and art teacher Peter Walsh also fell victim to pie attacks.

ANYONE HAVE A NAPKIN? — Four sets of about a dozen SeDoMoCha Middle School students had the opportunity to take part in a pie-eating contest on the afternoon of March 14 or PI Day. Without using their hands the students had to locate a piece of bubble gum in the midst of a mound of whipped cream, and then see who could be the first to blow a bubble. PI Day featured other competitions including which students could jump rope and keep a hula hoop going for the longest time. Leading up the day they also took part in art and several pie-baking contests.

FACE PLANT — SeDoMoCha sixth-grader Spencer Ireland had the privilege of creaming grade 8 math teacher Ryan Nickerson with a pie during the PI Day festivities on March 14. Winners of a contest to see who in each of the four grades could recite the most digits of PI had the pie throwing honors during an all-school assembly. Grade 5 student Ben Atwater earned the individual title as he correctly recited PI to the 315th digit.

IMPROPER TABLE MANNERS — SeDoMoCha middle-schoolers dig right in to find a piece of bubble gum in a pie tin filled with whipped cream during the school’s PI Day on the 14th day of the third month. After finding the bubble gum the students then could stand up and chew to be the first to blow a bubble.
