SeDoMoCha MS celebrates Pi Day

DOVER-FOXCROFT — Once again SeDoMoCha Middle School Middle School marked Pi Day with an annual celebration being held on March 15. Students in grades 5-8 participated in multiple events, including a hula hoop contest, jump rope contest, pie baking contest and pie eating contest.
An assembly in honor of the magical mathematical number — the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter — ended with the middle school math teachers getting “pied” in the face. The top Pi digit reciter from each grade level was given the chance to throw a pie in their teacher’s face in front of the entire middle school.
The following were the top grade level students in the Pi digit recitation contest. Grade 5: first place, Ethan Atwater with 108 digits; Peyton Wellman, second with 100 digits; and Zachary Peirce, third with 63 digits.
Grade 6: first place, Adam Taylor with 87 digits; Donnie Poole, second with 54 digits; Lauren Martin, third with 40 digits; and Justice Batchelder, fourth with 40 digits.
Grade 7: first place, Jasper Jakowski with 110 digits; Kaitlyn Lord, second with 77 digits; and Austin Seavey, third with 73 digits.
Grade 8: first place, Kaylee Durgin with 123 digits; Maren O’Connell, second with 110 digits; and Maddie Taylor, third with 102 digits.
