Sneak Peek at the Week...

Pi/Pie Day At Muraco
Friday, March 20th

Did you know that: 

• March 14th, is Pi Day and this year was extra special with a once-in-a-century twist. Yesterday's date, 3-14-15, was the same as the first five digits of pi: 3.141592653.

• The ancient Egyptians are believed to have eaten pies filled with figs or dates 3,000 years ago. 

In honor of Pi Day the Student Council will be debating the value of pi and pie at our community meeting on Friday. Once both sides have shared their arguments the audience will have an opportunity to cast their vote.  It should be quite the debate! 

The Student Council is encouraging all members of the community to come sporting a symbol which represents their favorite pi/pie.
