Klamath Falls City Schools staff enjoyed an early celebration of Pi Day at the KFCS District Office today, thanks to KFCS Administrative Assistant Christine Redford. Pi Day is traditionally celebrated on March 14 (3/14), representing the mathematical constant π (pi), often written as π = 3.14159265358979323846…, but because the date fell on a Saturday this year, staff gathered a day early.

Redford has made it her personal custom to bring the district together for Pi Day. After finishing her shift Thursday evening, she visited Fred Meyer, WinCo Foods, and Walmart to gather an impressive assortment of pies.
In total, Redford purchased more than 30 pies with her own money, creating a delicious spread for staff from around the district and the KFCS District Office to enjoy.
Redford's favorite part of the day is when the adorable Pelican Babies stop by. While the little visitors don’t partake in the pie, Redford makes sure they still feel included by handing out Goldfish crackers, Ritz crackers, and juice, giving the young guests their own special treats during the celebration.
The visit has become a special part of the tradition as two years ago, the Pelican Babies and their staff surprised Redford with a hand-drawn picture they made for her, which included footprints of every child from Pelican Babies from that year all shaped in the form of a pie.
The thoughtful drawing still hangs in her office as a reminder of the connection the young visitors have with her.
Thank you, Christine, for continuing this thoughtful tradition and making Pi Day a memorable and sweet moment for KFCS staff each year.
