TMA Students in Suites A-B3 went and visited Auer Farm to learn about maple sugaring. We were able to practice tapping a tree, saw tapped trees (unfortunately there was no new sap since the season is almost over), enjoyed a pancake with maple syrup, and got to see animals on the farm! Such a fun and beautiful day! – Ms. B
