National Pi Day
By Marissa
Zentz
Did you know
that there are
approximately
2.7 TRILLION digits in the number
Pi? On March 12, 2009, the Unit-
ed States House of Representa-
tives passed the non-binding res-
olution (111 H. Res. 224) to make
March 14 National Pi Day. The
entire month of March was cele-
brated as Pi Month in 2014. This
day has been observed in many
ways, including eating actual pie
and discussing the greatness of
the number Pi. Did you know
that on 3/14/15 at 9:26:53 AM

gether were the first 10 numbers
of the irrational number? These
are just some facts on the day we
celebrate called National Pi Day!
