Rochester Prep holds Pi Day celebration
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) – Friday marked this year's Pi Day – as in 3.14159.
Students at Rochester Prep got the chance to pie their teachers in the face with shaving cream pie.
All they had to do was see who could accurately recite the most digits of the mathematical constant Pi. One student now holds the record with reciting 105 digits.
'Even though sometimes going up and doing something can be like nerve racking, it's O.K. to just be brace and be able to do that because who knows you might end up getting the school record like I did,' the student said.
Pi Day is celebrated every year on March 14, and this is just one of the ways Rochester Prep makes math fun.
