'Sweetser students celebrate the sugaring season in a big way: They, too, enjoy the syrup over ice cream, and they cook with it— maple fudge, maple caramel, an especially awesome maple cookie sandwiched with maple cream. Every student who helped produce the syrup gets a small bottle of their… own, which they can refill as much as they like, while supplies last. There’s a farmers breakfast and Maine Maple Monday, Sweetser’s twist on the state’s annual Maine Maple Sunday tradition. Moreover, bottles of the school-made syrup raffled off at a school fundraiser can fetch hundreds of dollars, said Birtolo, who started the maple-sugaring program around 1996 when she was hired as an ed tech.'

Students from kindergarten on up come to understand the state’s maple traditions by making syrup themselves.

Recap of Troy Jackson's visit to our Saco campus…
Thank you to former Senate President and current gubernatorial candidate @troyjackson207 for visiting our Saco campus. He walked through our experiential learning programs at our special-purpose K-12 school, spoke to our staff at our adult PNMI program, and toured the site of what will hopefully be… Maine’s only psychiatric residential treatment facility, in addition to our roundtable discussion about legislative priorities. We appreciate Troy’s interest in supporting improvements to 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.
