At some point in your school mathematics journey you discovered that mysterious constant called “Pi.”

It’s the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter and most commonly known by the number 3.14.

During the 2012-13 school year, the Icon posted a series of interviews with Bluffton third graders. We’ve revisited one of those interviews eight school years later, thanks to BHS student Tayler Nowak-Valentine, who completed a follow-up interview this month. She also took the follow-up photo.

The four students interviewed were Caitlin Dailey, Delaney Maple, Kylie Monday and Libby Frazier, now juniors at Bluffton HS.
