What’s the best way to celebrate Pi Day? By pieing your teachers, of course! 😂 This year, Mr. McBride and Mr. Bauer bravely took a pie to the face as 6th grade students competed to memorize the most digits of Pi. Two lucky students earned the ultimate prize—sending a whipped cream pie flying! 🤩👏 #PiDay #MathGetsMessy #TaylorTide #CBSD
