HSAT Celebrates Pi Day | |
 The Math Department held various activities to celebrate Pi Day (March 14). Mr. Ballinger posted a pi problem each day during pi week for any student to attempt. The winning students received Pizza Pi as their reward. The winners were: Steven Hoy, Keith Skinner, April Cantwell, Aldo Ibarra, Dajon Reese, and the fifth graders Braedon FitzGerald and Jayden Edwards. Braedon answered the most correct, turning in four correct answers. Mr. Glover recited pi to 51 decimal places...from memory! Mrs. Dowd and Ms. Miller's class celebrated Pi Day in their classroom by having students measure pi using the circumference and diameter of circle-shaped treats (cookies, pies, cheesecake, etc).

| Students Work Overtime for OGT Week | |
During the week of March 11-15th, 10th grade students took their Ohio Graduation Tests in the areas of reading, writing, science, mathematics, and social studies. The State of Ohio requires students to pass all five sections of this test before graduation, and students have been working diligently to prepare for them during and after school and even on the weekends during OGT Saturday tutoring. During testing week, students enjoyed breakfast, courtesy of the staff, and earned incentives for perfect attendance. We congratulate our students on their efforts, and we are confident that we will see their hard work pay off when the test results come back in May. All students who had perfect attendance all week were entered into a drawing for a mini iPad. Congratulations to the winner, Kayla Collins! |
