As a reminder, our Spring Family Open House takes place tonight. We hope to see you there! Doors will open at 4:30 PM and run until 6:00 PM.

As a reminder, the Open House is an opportunity to see what’s going on in your student’s classroom and throughout their school day. (as a reminder, Open House is not intended as a time for conferencing with teachers, but you can certainly sign up / inquire at Open House about setting up a spring conference at a later date).

Please join the Friends of the Perry on Saturday March 29th for Perry Rocks as we honor Representative David Biele with the Great Perry Shark Award in recognition of his commitment to the Perry School and South Boston community.

The event is sure to be lots of fun with live music, open bar, food and an exciting live auction! Buy your tickets now!

In honor of Pi Day (March 14th), students in our upper grades memorized the digits of Pi, which is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. A shout out to fifth graders Skye Simpson and Amuari Thibou who memorized over 20 digits in one night and led the charge in fifth and sixth grade.

In fourth grade, students challenged Mr. Rollins and Mr. Mohammed, with the deal being that they could pie them in the face if at least sixteen students were able to recite at least fifteen digits of Pi. They met the challenge!! A special shout out to Olivia Isch, Coco Mulrooney and Maela Donovan who recited over 40 digits of Pi.

If you want to try the challenge at home, the first twenty-five digits are: 3.1415926535897932384626433
