Spring Happenings at Stonehedge

Sunshine and Syrup
Recently, on a beautiful sunny day, our first grade students were treated to a morning spent with local maple syrup expert "Mr. G". Groups headed outside to the beautiful row of maple trees behind the second grade wing to watch Mr. G demonstrate tapping a tree to get sap out. Upon returning to the classrooms, the students were shown how to boil down the sap and turn it into syrup.
