WSFS welcomed a special visitor this week as Tom Todd demonstrated how to tap maple trees and make syrup! The children got to participate in the tapping and collecting process as well as taste some of the syrup Tom had made! We were all surprised to see how fast the bucket filled as we had to empty it first thing in the morning the next day! Older students also learned about identifying maple trees, working with the ratio of sap to syrup (43:1 here in the Pacific Northwest) and understanding the process of hydraulic lift. We LOVE having visitors from right her in our community visit and teach us about resources in our own back yards - thank you Tom!!
