Pi Day 2009 - The One to Remember

We celebrated Pi Day 2009 at Jeff's school, Murrieta Valley High on March 13. The school did this in memory of Jeff. The students set up booths of fun things to do like Pie Throwing, Musical Chairs, Pi Memorization, etc. The obvious favorite hands-down was the Pie Throwing, where $3 bought you a paper plate filled with whipped cream and you could pick which teacher or administrator you'd like to tag. The "lamb" artwork for the stage was taken from a candy jar that Jeff's mom, Pinki, painted for us. I would always send candy to Jeff's students after all the holidays. Lord knows we didn't need to eat it! And they loved it!

Here is Isaac patiently waiting for Dean Nielsen to show up so he could get him with some whipped cream.

I was able to toss a few dozen keychains to the general population of students while they waited for their turn at throwing pies. These keychains I had made specifically for Jeff's students and colleages as a keepsake. They seemed to be well received.

Isaac finally got his turn at Dean, who by the way, never signed up to do this part of the event. Thanks Dean for making my son's day! You're a great sport!

The school surprised us with not only a wonderful gift of a wheelbarrow full of plants, potting soil, shovel, gloves, and a shade tree but with the proceeds of the event! They covered our mortgage for the following month. Thank you all for all your hard work and support. You guys rock!
