What's Happening at Pine Grove Elementary

Pine Grove Elementary welcomes FOODPLAY to their school for a special assembly granted by the Maryland Soybean Board!

The Maryland Soybean Board (MSB) is making a difference in the health and wellness of the children in their community! MSB has partnered with FoodPlay
Productions to bring FOODPLAY, a national award winning theater show that inspires and empowers children to make healthy choices, to Maryland schools.
Thanks to MSB, FOODPLAY will bring its cast of colorful performers, amazing feats of juggling, motivating messages, music, magic, and audience participation to
celebrate April as National Soyfoods Month to 10 Maryland schools.
Maryland soybean farmers, with their soybean checkoff, are bringing the FOODPLAY program to help celebrate National Soyfoods Month. In response to the nation’s alarming childhood obesity epidemic
and the need for accessible nutrition education, the Celebrating Soy! – FOODPLAY tour will reach up to16,000 children and their family members. The FOODPLAY program, which follows USDA Guidelines and has been updated with an interactive MyPlate scene, makes nutrition come alive for students,
families and communities.
