Law’s National Math Honor Society hosted a school-wide Pi-Lympics event on March 8 and 9.

Mr. Ruzbarsky is the advisor for the National Math Honor Society. He and a group of NMHS students helped plan the event which included events such as Pin The Radius On The Circle, Ring Toss, Ring Hook, Basketball, Draw The Best Circle, Guess How Many In The Jar, Memorize The Digits Of Pi and How Many Words Start With “Pi.”

“I first met with the officers of NMHS to run by an idea that (math teacher) Mrs. Francisco had to make our Pi day events more enthusiastic and interactive for the whole school,” Ruzbarsky said. “We then brought the idea to all the members and we voted on it. It was then a process for officers, members, and myself to coordinate how we wanted to do it. It was a lot of work but it paid off because everyone seemed to have a lot of fun.”

Throughout the two-day event, students could bring money to donate to Livfree Foundation. Those donations helped each class team earn more points.

In the end, Francisco’s Period 7 Algebra II class came out on top. 

“Last year we donated to the Livfree foundation and we wanted to pick them again since we had such an interest last year and it’s for a good cause – childhood cancer,” Ruzbarsky said. “We will probably look to donate to a different foundation next year and make it a yearly goal of ours.”

Many students helped participate in making this school event happen. Senior Aislinn Burns, who is a member of the National Math Honor Society, planned several of the events.

“My favorite part of the Pilympics was definitely seeing all of our ideas come to life and watching students enjoy a lot of the activities with their math classes,” Burns said. “It also seemed like students had a lot of fun and it was good to get them up and moving during their math classes.”
