**Happy Pi Day!!**
In case you didn't know the significance, the mathematical community would like to stop and recognize the importance of this irrational number. Here at Hope, we will be inducting new members into **Pi** Mu Epsilon, the national mathematics honorary society for undergraduates. The chapter at Hope was chartered during the 70s, so my signature is in the early pages of the membership book. //Guess what we'll serve for refreshments.//

A quick Google search will produce many hits for classroom activities to celebrate Pi Day. Here is a song that a couple of people sent my way this past week.
