Here's some BIG news...
We’ve collected more than 200 L of maple sap from Jackman’s maple
trees. Wow! That’s a lot of sap. Twice as much as last year. Thank you to teachers and kids in rooms 209, 211, 102, 313, P1, P2
and 201 – you have become our sap collecting experts. Check out our sap collection journal Sap Collection!
And now for some BIGGER news…
On Friday, we’ll be
‘sugaring’ at Jackman. We will be boiling the sap down throughout
the day to make… MAPLE SYRUP. :-)
You are invited to drop by to see our maple syrup making in action and to taste this sweet treat for
yourself. Maybe stay for a few minutes to learn about making maple
syrup. We're excited about providing
Jackman with this unique 'outdoor education’ experience.
Darwin is already ‘sugaring’ (in his
backyard). Rolf is sugaring too. We’ll have lots of maple syrup ready for tasting. Also, a number of
Jackman parent volunteers are making small pancakes to pair with our freshly
made maple syrup. There will be pancakes for EVERYONE! Yeah! And there’s nearly 700 kids at Jackman… that’s a lot of pancakes. We could
use a few more pancake making chefs.
Are you up for the job? Let us know.
