Countdown to Pi Minute
(New Year's Style, of course!)
March 14 at 1:59
Pi Day is celebrated on March 14 (3/14) around the world. Pi (Greek letter "π") is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant - the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter - which is approximately 3.14159.
Pi has been calculated to over one trillion digits beyond its decimal point. As an irrational and transcendental number, it will continue infinitely without repetition or pattern. While only a handful of digits are needed for typical calculations, Pi's infinite nature makes it a fun challenge to memorize, and to computationally calculate more and more digits.
Some ideas to celebrate Pi Day:
Sing "Happy Pi Day to you" to the tune of Happy Birthday and then sing Happy Birthday to Albert Einstein who was born on March 14, 1879.
Pi memorization: see how many numbers of pi in order that you can memorize for 5-10 minutes. Work alone or in small groups or with family at the dinner table, with pie for dessert of course.
Hey Radcliffe parents! There's a new club at RCS. Talk to your kids about joining the Bird Watchers, a club where students can learn and have FUN. We will play cool games, learn about the birds in the area, and look for different species in the marsh, on the field, and other places around the school campus. We will meet most Thursdays during recess and start after Spring Break. Lead by me, Jackson Whitmyer, and Mrs.Johnson, this club will be very educational and fun. We have some supplies, but it would be great if you could bring your own binoculars. Please talk to your kids about joining; we promise it will be WORTH IT. Sign up here!

TAYLOR FAMILY REMINDER
As many of you already know, one of our Annapolis Radcliffe families suffered a house fire last weekend. Elii Taylor and his family were uninjured, but their house sustained considerable damage, making it necessary for them to move into temporary housing for at least the next few months.
In support of Elii and his family, we are collecting funds to purchase a gift card so that they will be able to take care of some of their immediate needs - food, clothing, etc.
If you would like to contribute, any amount would be appreciated. Please send in your check (made out to Radcliffe Creek School) or cash with your student to the attention of Nan Norris. Or, you can give online by clicking here (please put "Taylors" in the donation comments).
At Radcliffe, we are a family and we know we can count on each other in times of need!
Thank you in advance for your support.
