Special Ed. Class Tackles Sweet Job!

The Spec. Ed. Class works towards its goal of 6,000 packages.

The Spec. Ed. class has been hard at work over the last week completing a job for the upcoming Belmore Maple Syrup Festival. The class has already packaged 4,000 napkin and cultlery sets that will be used at the local event. They are now two thirds of the way towards their goal.

The pay off is sweet indeed. The class will spend a day at the festival enjoying the fresh maple syrup and money raised from their work will go towards their year end trip to Niagara Falls!

Check out information about events at the Belmore Maple Syrup Festival.
