Waterloo Container is proud to assist the Trumansburg High School’s Student Run Maple Syrup program, which includes a financial contribution along with glass bottles and closures for their syrup production.
The program, part of the school’s STEAM initiative, empowers students from grades K-12 to learn the art of maple syrup production, from tapping trees to bottling their finished product. Beyonca Akers, President of the club and a senior at the high school, expressed her gratitude, stating, “Our STEAM program at Trumansburg High School allows students in grades K-12 to identify, tap, and make their own syrup. We want to expand the Maple Syrup project across the state and create a data network that supports educators and learners. Waterloo Container’s donation has helped add a new level of professionalism to our project and we are super grateful for their support.”
Mark C. Pitifer from Waterloo Container added, “We are always looking for ways in which we can support agriculture and programs like these. Bill Lutz is passionate about anything that will enhance, motivate, and drive the future of each special industry in the Finger Lakes and the State as a whole. Waterloo Container is proud to support this program and wishes success and high syrup yields. Maple Syrup looks better in glass. The NY Maple program released a survey which suggested that over 75% of consumers prefer syrup in glass over plastic. We are thrilled to continue to support this industry, and with leaders like Governor Hochul supported by Commissioner Richard Ball of NYS Ag and Markets at the helm, our state’s agricultural future is bright.”
This collaboration aims to enhance educational opportunities for students while fostering a deeper appreciation for local agriculture by “tapping” into the potential of the future generation of Maple Syrup producers in NYS.
