Schoolyard Sugaring: A maple syrup contest
NEW YORK – On January 10, New York Agriculture in the Classroom at Cornell University in conjunction with the New York State Maple Foundation announced the launching of 'Schoolyard Sugaring': a maple syrup contest for classes pre-k through 12 across the state.
Teachers are invited to register their classes in the contest as an opportunity to learn about the maple industry and compete for a $250 prize. The sap-to-syrup process is said to integrate elements of science, social studies, math, and ELA, and has been deemed an educational experience for all who choose to participate.
Classrooms that register will be paired with a local maple producer that will help guide students through the syrup-making process.
Elementary, middle school, and high school classrooms will be judged in separate divisions based on taste, clarity, and color of syrup by a panel of maple experts this coming May.
Every classroom that registers will receive age-specific lessons, an informative book, and an official contest plastic maple jug to package and ship their syrup in.
Multiple classrooms from the same school are eligible to register, as well as home school groups and private schools.
The contest requires no prior experience with maple products–the NYS Maple Foundation will pair each classroom with a producer to mentor participants through the process.
To learn more about the program or to register, visit www.agclassroom.org/ny/programs/maple.htm. All online forms must be submitted before February 15.
