Kitchen Classrooms

Common Threads

About
We teach underserved children to cook wholesome & affordable meals because we believe that through our cooking classes we can help prevent childhood obesity and reverse the trend of generations of non-cookers, while celebrating our cultural differences.

We teach our classes our of school kitchens and out of our Common Threads World Garden.  Our garden is located in the Hyde Park area of Chicago and we have been growing and cooking in our garden since 2007.

We are a preschool provider in Miami serving children from 1-5 years old. We currently began our small garden and would like to grow some of the food we eat in school. We are very interested in this project.

Grow Some Good

Grow Some Good is a nonprofit community program dedicated to creating hands-on, outdoor learning experiences that cultivate curiosity about natural life cycles, connect students to their food sources, and inspire better nutrition choices.

In addition to helping establish food gardens and living science labs in local schools, we provide resources and curriculum support through community partnerships in agriculture, science, food education and nutrition.

Healthy Tummy Initiative

As a family-oriented, Naturopathic Doctor and food lover, my goal is to become much more involved in the nutrition and education communities ensuring that children are getting fed (and fed well!) both at home and in the classroom.

Garden by Knight

I am the Career Technical Education culinary instructor for an inner city high school. We lost our horticulture program and since I have a background in horticulture the school has giving me the green houses and part of the campus to use for my program. We are establishing a student-run café where I'd like to serve the produce we grow. In addition, due to the fact that we are in a low socioeconomic area of the city and have a large Hispanic and Asian student body, I also wanted to start a community garden on campus to get parents involved in their child's school.

We are in the process of creating a learning garden at our school.  I would like to focus on growing food to eat in our classrooms or in our lunchroom.

I therefor would like to contribute in River Place Elementary and in Four Points Middle school here in our local are in Austin.
