The Cultivated Classroom @ Gregory-Lincoln Education Center

Gregory-Lincoln is a Fine Arts Magnet prek-8th grade school located in historic Fourth Ward, in the shadow of downtown Houston. Our school community is typical of so many American schools, blessed with talented, smart kids, and struggling with childhood obesity, as well as the looming threat of Type II diabetes. Instead of sitting idly by we decided to raise our pitchforks, plates, and pencils to change how we think and consume food.
