Math Lovers Celebrate Pi Day

By: YNN Staff

Math Lovers Celebrate Pi Day
People who love math are also loving Pi Day today. It is not the delicious dessert, but rather the date 3.14.

In case you need a math refresher, the relationship of a circle's circumference to its diameter is 3.14.

Many schools use it as a day to celebrate math. At Rush Henrietta they are also using it as a fundraiser for the Wilmot Cancer Center.

For every $40 a math class raises, they earn a pie they get to push into their teachers' face on stage during lunch.

As of Tuesday, Rush Henrietta had already raised more than $2,000.
