Happy Pi(e) Day! 🎉🥧 Students at Roan School had a blast celebrating Pi Day with a fun (and messy!) fundraiser hosted by the Roan School PTO. After voting for a staff member to receive a pie in the face, lucky students were drawn to do the honors. Principal Anne Fetzer earned the most votes, but Ms. Luckey and Mrs. Green were such great sports that they joined in on the fun too! The biggest surprise? School Resource Officer Johnson’s name was drawn to pie Mrs. Green—talk about an unexpected twist!
