More Information

Paul G. Blazer High School's chapter of the National Mathematics Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta, presents the first annual Pi Day 5K and Celebration. The purpose of this organization is to promote scholarship in, and enjoyment and understanding of, mathematics among high school students. Members of this organization voted as their chapter project for 2017-2018 to not only show enjoyment of mathematics within the club but with the community as well. It only seemed logical to celebrate such an occasion on most math loving individual's favorite day, Pi Day. A day dedicated to the irrational number pi and its forever famous relationship to the circle. A day that calls for immeasurable amounts of pie, cookies, donuts and well just about anything you can calculate the diameter of! Please join us on the Saturday prior to Pi Day and celebrate the magic of Pi. Demonstrations and Pi exploratory activities fun for ALL ages will take place in Crabbe Elementary Gym prior to the race at 1:00 PM. The 5K Run/Walk will begin promptly at 3:14 PM followed by an award ceremony for the top qualifiers, activity winners and door prizes.
