f the mere mention of math brings back uncomfortable memories, consider Pi Day—a far more enjoyable way to engage with numbers. Pi Day, celebrated annually on March 14, honors the mathematical constant pi (approximately 3.14159), which represents the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. For obvious reasons, it is particularly popular in bakeries and pizzerias, and this year, it will also serve as a day of giving.
At Time Square Pizzeria in Suntree, 10% of the afternoon’s proceeds—spanning 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.—will benefit Angels in the Attic, a local charity supporting St. Paul’s Anglican Church. The thrift store provides valuable community resources, and owner Soli Castellon says it was chosen because of its effectiveness. “We wanted to make the day fun, but also impactful for the local community,” Castellon shared.
