PI Day at GSB was a fantastic success once again! 🥧🎉
More than 170 students took on the challenge of memorizing the digits of pi and showcased their skills in their classrooms. Each grade then sent their top two memorizers to represent them at the school assembly—what an impressive display of talent and dedication!
To make things even more fun, each grade-level winner earned the chance to choose a staff member to get “PIED” (with whipped cream!) right in the face. Our incredible staff truly embraced the moment—they were enthusiastic, supportive, and a few even came ready for it!
It was such a fun and memorable way to celebrate math, school spirit, and our amazing community. 💙

Sometimes when we need to clean and refold the PI DAY tarp we play with it like a parachute on a windy day with our favorite Resource Officer, Officer Wells! Honestly, this was way too much fun for all of us!
Thank you Officer Wells for always hanging out with us, participating in PE and being the absolute best sport! From Penguin Hands to tarp folding- you always keep us laughing and working as a team!
