Maple Syrup Monday! 🍁🥞🍦
Students at our special-purpose school in Saco celebrated their hard work with some maple syrup treats. The delicious syrup wasn’t store-bought—it was proudly made by our students, who tapped trees and boiled the sap themselves right here on our Saco …campus.
You appreciate every drop when you make it yourself! This hands-on experience is part of our experiential learning program, where students connect classroom lessons to real-world skills while working directly with the land.
Sweetser Educator and Farm Manager Julia Birtolo poured the freshly made maple syrup over vanilla ice cream for a tasty way to sample the students’ hard work.

“We have children in Maine who are stuck in emergency rooms, and it's not acceptable to any of us,” Jayne Van Bramer, president and CEO of Sweetser, said.

Recap of Shenna Bellows for Maine's visit to our Saco campus (with a special appearance by our new lambs)…
Thank you to Secretary of State and current gubernatorial candidate @shennabellows for her visit to Sweetser’s Saco campus!
She explored our experiential learning trade programs at our special-purpose K-12 school, met our staff at our adult residential program, toured the site of what …will hopefully be Maine’s first psychiatric residential treatment facility, and participated in our roundtable discussion about legislative priorities. Our team appreciates Shenna’s interest in and past support for Maine’s behavioral health system.
Note: Sweetser does not endorse political candidates and frequently hosts political and governmental leaders to tour our programs and learn about our mental health mission.
