A play called “The Prince of
the Pyramid” is performing in
schools throughout the state and
recently appeared at Clay Ele
mentary School.
The touring group, based in
Minneapolis, Minn., called Na
tional Theatre For Children said
its purpose is to teach, entertain,
and inspire.
An archeologist and a mummy

play, which is set in the fictitious
town of Oak Grove. Residents
awake one morning to find a

the town square. Coincidentally,

been replaced with junk food.
Does the mummy have some
thing to do with the missing food
and the mysterious pyramid?
The students help solve the
mystery while learning about the
necessity of eating five fruits and
vegetables daily and the part
good nutrition and exercise pays
in our lives.
Some of the facts include such
statements as the following: “Did
you know that 90 percent of your
bone mass is developed between
the ages of 1-18?”
Dairy Council Middle Atlantic
funded by local dairy farmers
provided the program to
promote health and awareness
through nutrition education. In
Lancaster County alone, more
that 10,000 students saw the per
formance.
