SAVE Promise Updates: This month we will celebrate See Something, Say Something. We will recognize this week March 17-21st. This week is to educate youth on the power of their voice. Our job as adults is to provide them with a safe space to speak about what they have experienced and report bullying. SAVE Promise will host a kindness challenge in honor of this awareness for the month of March as kindness and consideration go hand in hand. The first class to have ALL students complete every act of kindness will receive a cupcake and chalk reward.

🥧 Happy Pi Day! 🥧 Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th (3/14) because the date represents the first three digits of π (pi) 3.14! Pi is a mathematical constant that represents the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. It’s an irrational number, meaning it goes on forever without repeating. Many people celebrate Pi Day by eating pie, doing fun math activities, and learning about circles! 🎉🍕🔢
