Ava Collette is a student within the English E.L.K.P. classroom at St. Anne School in Hanmer. She celebrated Pancake Tuesday with her classmates and other classrooms throughout the school as a day of celebration before the start of Lent and Ash Wednesday. The pancakes Ava and her Kindergarten friends ate were perhaps a bit more special than most. That is because they were covered in syrup Ava's father had made from tapping the maple trees at their home. Ava, a student within the Sudbury Catholic Board, told her class "My daddy made the syrup from the trees in our backyard". Her friends and teacher couldn't wait to try the homemade syrup and after tasting it on top of their pancakes, everyone agreed. "It was yummy"! The syrup was so good, there wasn't one drop left. Ava and her dad certainly knew how to put the "topping" on this year's pancake breakfast!
