To register your school, complete this simple form. The mural will be awarded to the school that has the highest percentage of enrolled students participating in Thrive’s #KindnessBeatsTheVirus activities. The winning school will be chosen based on the number of public student Instagram posts that utilize both the #KindnessBeatsTheVirus hashtag AND the unique school hashtag included on the registration form.

At Ps280Q we work with HEART❤️ and work together to keep our students motivated on day 2 of Virtual Spirit Week!🦁💙💛 #TikTokTuesday #VirtualSpiritWeek #kindnessbeatsthevirus
We grieve the unexpected loss of long time friend, emcee, and mentor @thebronxpastor_e . Efrain Alicea and @jeremyrdelrio first met and collaborated in 1996. In 2015, @randymasonmusic became Pastor E's associate pastor and grew as a leader under his mentorship. Pastor E introduced Randy to #ThriveCollective in 2017, which he now leads as our NYC Director and founder of @rhyme_nyc.
Enjoy this #KindnessBeatsTheVirus #quarantinejam🙌 collab between the two in the early days of the pandemic. 📽 ➡️
Our hearts and prayers are with the Alicea and @elementschurch families. We mourn and honor his beautiful life and deep cultural and spiritual legacy in NYC and beyond.

At Ps280Q our students are staying healthy, staying moving and keeping our spirits up during Virtual Spirit Week! 🤩 #TikTokTuesday! #VirutualSpiritWeek #Ps280Q #kindnessbeatsthevirus

I was given the challenge of painting the front doors of the storage container in the DT-Alley... no one else would accept it. It was a pain and I haven't struggled with a surface like this in awhile, but I had fun. Met a couple cool people and flexed hard
Go follow my friends at PHATCAPS for that solid graff gear, have some stickers made or get some custom something-something.

Today's #KindnessBeatsTheVirus challenge is inspired by our BandLab Music Makers at PSMS282.
🥁
Prompt: What music helps you feel better when you're scared or sad or angry?
💥
Share a photo, video, or any image that captures it on social media, and tag #KindnessBeatsTheVirus NYCThrive
📽
About the video: PS/MS 282 students produced their own music during #ThriveCollective’s winter 2020 #SchoolMedia after school program using #BandLab. They talk about the importance of creating music during the COVID-19 pandemic. “I don’t like hearing about coronavirus, when people die and stuff. But as Mr. Josh says, if you feel something, let it out in music! When I let it out, I feel like it’s gone.” Special thanks to teaching artist Joshua Labidou, our collaborating partner projectivity, NYC Council Member brad.lander, the NYCCouncil #DigitalInclusion Initiative, nycyouth , Principal Rodriguez and the staff of #psms282, and our participating students.

Stay home, healthy, and safe. AND help kindness go viral during the #Coronovirus Quarantine.

The F train isn’t sure if they have a cold, the flu, or covid. But they’re considerate enough to not want to share whatever it is. Kindness is contagious.
