This Week’s Trivia Question: That strange looking number in the Middle School section above? Whose constant is that? (No Googling! First to email Jay Forstner the right answer gets a mention in next week’s Cheat Sheet). Last week’s question was, “Nick DelBanco, whose child attended this week’s field hockey opponent Ann Arbor Greenhills, wore the “apricot scarf” mentioned in what Carly Simon song?” The answer was “You’re So Vain.” Erin Lopez was the first to get the right answer. 

Have a great week! Together, we’re investing in our students, because the future belongs to Pioneers.
