Pinewood students learn about making healthy food choices
March 2008
Pinewood students got the okay to play with
their food — healthy food, that is — on March 7.
Thanks to sponsorship by Hannaford Supermarkets, the entire Pinewood
student body watched a performance of "FOODPLAY."
FOODPLAY is a fun-filled, national award-winning theater show that
has been touring schools throughout the country to help improve the
eating, exercise, and health habits of school children. Featuring
juggling, music, magic and audience participation, FOODPLAY arms
kids with the skills they need to make their choices healthy ones.
"Good eaters make good learners, and we hope this program will help
our students develop healthy habits to last a lifetime," said
Pinewood Principal Michele Hunter.
After the show, students received their own copy of “The FOODPLAY
Passport to Fresh Adventures at Hannaford” to take home and use to
chart their fruit and vegetable-eating progress.
