Last week was full of interesting events at North Branch. Most exciting of all for the students (and many of the adults) was Pi Day on 3/14. Pies were shared in class as students learned about the number Pi. During assembly, we congratulated our middle school participants in the Virginia Piedmont Regional Science Fair. All of our 7th and 8th graders worked hard on their projects and quite a few returned with an award. We also got to see a fascinating slide show of a multi-country trip that two NBS students went on this fall.
