I would like to first thank everyone who entered the Pi Baking contest this year. We had a great turn out in numbers and quality of pies.
I would also like to congratulate several of the Pi memorization contest winners.
In 7th grade we had Kyle Moe and Lucy Peterson who tied with 70 digits while Beck memorized 50. In 8th grade Jenna memorized 42. If I have forgotten another great performance, please forgive me. I will update this if necessary.
Now for the moment you have all been waiting for . . .

2) At that time, a numbered sticker will be stuck to the bottom of the pie and on this form. Students must keep this form with the number.
3) Student council representatives will taste pies from a homeroom and judge each pie (see below for pie tasting rubric) before school starts.
