Seeking math teachers (re PI Day)

Any math teachers out there do anything special for PI day which is coming
up in a few days?

At The Children's Storefront in Harlem, all the kids are familiar with
this video/song
http://www.thechildrensstorefront.org/pi/PiVideoStrMed.mov
and compete in a contest in each grade to memorize places of PI and win a
PIE on Monday!

I would love to connect with math teachers across the country/world doing
similar things and perhaps do something from school to school via SKYPE...

p.s. I also attended a math workshop at TEDx the other day in NYC that was
one of the best math workshops I have seen on "the 21st Century approach
to teaching math" in the last 33 years
