SUIS Gubei had a wonderful celebration for Pi Day, which falls on March 14th every year. During these days, the school organized various activities related to mathematics.
On March 11th, students gathered near the Office of Student Affairs to enjoy small math-related games. These games included guesstimation challenges like guessing the number of gummy bears in a jar, solving Rubik’s cubes, and figuring out Rubik’s clocks. The winners of these games received certificates and prizes on Thursday, March 14th, which was also the day of the pie-eating contest and the amusing pie-in-the-face event. Among the winners were Zhao Venlouce (Yu Hao) and Mr. Rami Amer (Physics Teacher) for the guesstimation games, Zheng Eugene (Yan Yu) for the Rubik’s cube competition, and Zhang Jessie (Jia Yi) for the Rubik’s clock competition.
每年的3月14日，协和古北都会举行盛大的圆周率日庆典活动，这是一项富有乐趣和启发性的庆祝活动。在此期间，学校精心策划了多种与数学紧密相关的活动，旨在激发学生们对数学的兴趣和热爱，提升他们的数学素养和思维能力。些活动不仅丰富了学生的课余生活，也为他们提供了一个展示自己才华和潜力的平台。
3月11日，学生们齐聚学生处旁的公共区域，参与了一系列小型数学主题游戏。这些游戏涵盖猜谜挑战，如推测瓶内软熊糖的数量，魔方操作技巧，以及魔方计时赛。经过激烈角逐，获胜者于3月14日圆周率日获得荣誉证书及奖品。当天还举办了一场别开生面的吃派比赛及派砸脸趣味活动，气氛热烈。在众多佼佼者中，赵俞浩与Mr. Rami Amer（物理老师）在猜谜游戏中脱颖而出，郑颜宇则在魔方比赛中展露锋芒，而张嘉仪则凭借出色的计时技巧在魔方计时比赛中拔得头筹。
Pi Day is an annual celebration of the mathematical constant π, recognized on March 14th because the date 3.14 resembles the first three digits of π. At SUIS-Gubei, the Academic Prefects, House Coordinator and The Mathematics Department arrange “Pi Week” activities with a focus on charity and group enjoyment. This year, the school collaborated with an animal care charity at the Baoen Temple, successfully raising over ¥8835 in funds. The events were meticulously organized by academic Prefects Peijin Zhou and Sarah Shan, House Captains Andrew Kim, Abby Wu, Amy Li, Chloe Ling, Shun Ikawa, Amelie Li, Peter Hong, Breanna Neufield, along with Head boy Daniel Dong and Head girl Ella Li.
The highlight of March 14th was the pie-eating contest and the Pie-in-the-face which began with an inspiring speech and singing performance by Mr. Agrix Neri Go, the head of the math department, followed by a captivating Mathematics Department Dance Performance. Hosting duties were carried out by students Daniel Dong, Ella Li, Peijin Zhou, and Sarah Shan. Contestants faced the challenge of eating pies without using their hands, and the winner was the one who finished in the shortest time.
The atmosphere during the contest was filled with cheers and laughter as everyone watched in amazement and enjoyment at the students and teachers competing with such enthusiasm. Mr. Yegor Ruzov from the Physics Department won as the champion of the pie-eating contest, receiving a special π-themed shirt and the grand pie-eater certificate.
每年的3月14日，全球都会举行盛大的数学常数π庆祝活动，因其日期“3.14”恰好与π的前三位小数相契合。在协和古北，Prefects、各队协调员以及数学部门共同策划了一场以慈善和团队协作为核心的“圆周率周”活动。今年，学校携手宝恩寺动物关怀慈善机构，成功募集超过8835元人民币的善款。此次活动得到了Prefects Peijin Zhou和Sarah Shan，以及House Captains Andrew Kim、Abby Wu、Amy Li、Chloe Ling、Shun Ikawa、Amelie Li、Peter Hong、Breanna Neufield、Head boy Daniel Dong和Head girl Ella Li的精心组织和策划，展现了学生们严谨、稳重、理性的精神风貌。
3月14日的活动亮点聚焦于别开生面的派比赛及趣味横生的派砸脸活动。活动伊始，数学部门负责人Agrix Neri Go先生发表了鼓舞人心的演讲，并带来了精彩的表演唱，为现场营造出热烈而活跃的氛围。随后，数学部门的舞蹈表演更是将活动推向了高潮，台上舞者的精湛技艺与台下观众的热烈反响交相辉映，形成了一场别开生面的互动盛宴。本次活动由Daniel Dong、Ella Li、Peijin Zhou和Sarah Shan四位学生共同主持。在派比赛环节，参赛者们面临的挑战是在不使用双手的情况下享用派，经过激烈角逐，最终最快吃完派的选手脱颖而出，成为了本次比赛的赢家。整场活动既富有趣味性，又充分展现了数学部门同仁的才华与活力。
在比赛期间，现场气氛热烈，欢呼和笑声此起彼伏。观众们都为参赛的学生和老师们所展现出的热情而深感惊讶。经过激烈的角逐，来自物理部门的Mr. Yegor Ruzov脱颖而出，荣获派比赛冠军。作为奖励，他获得了一件特别的π主题T恤和一份吃大派的证书。
The fun continued with the charity event Pie-in-the-face, where over 50 teachers and the Senior Leadership Team volunteered to have pies smashed on their faces by students who bid the highest. This light-hearted event added to the success of Pi Day celebrations.
欢乐并没有停止，在接下来的慈善活动“派砸脸”中，我们欣喜地看到超过50名教师和学校管理团队积极参与，他们自愿接受了学生最高竞标的“派砸脸”挑战。这一轻松而富有乐趣的活动为圆周率日的庆祝增添了诸多亮点，不仅体现了师生间的深厚情谊，更展现了学校团结互助、积极向上的精神风貌，具有深远的意义。
