*3.141592654… Memorizing digits of Pi may seem pointless, but on March 14 (3/14) knowing Pi can be very impressive.

At the St. Louis Science Center, National Pi Day is celebrated with coloring activities and educational opportunities with numbers and counting.

Ways to celebrate Pi include calling the number (314) 159-2564, going to Whole Foods Market in Brentwood and inquiring about a free slice of pie or make a special purchase to receive a complimentary pie, or baking a homemade pie with friends.
