Maple Syrup Makers

The Maple Syrup Makers is a inter-disciplinary, hands-on, real-world teaching experience. Students take part in the entire maple syrup making process, from tapping trees to our finished product. The Maple Syrup Makers is part of our Farm to School initiative and another opportunity for our students to make connections within our community. 

 

UPDATE: Thank you to everyone that helped us to reach our fundraising goal. As a result we were able to purchase the shed that will be converted into our sugar shack. There are still a few items that we need to purchase to complete the set up of the sugar shack classroom, so donations are still greatly appreciated.
