PICTURES AND REPORTS Making Maple Syrup On Thursday 3-30-2017 the sun came out and so did a number of learning communities who visited HOPE to witness maple sap being boiled down into syrup. It takes roughly forty gallons of sap to make one gallon of syrup - a long slow process. These are Triumph students These are Mrs. Williams' students. Pre-K KINDERGARTEN Pre-K K communities had a visit from friends of the Franklin County Animal Rescue.  Dr. Bergquist and Rusty Posner brought Max, a Beagle-Basset, to visit with the kids.  The students had a chance to ask any questions they had about animals and animal rescue. At the same event, the children wanted to thank Dr. Bergquist for all the care he gave to Reeses, their resident guinea pig. It was a special visit for everyone.
