Kids Should Thrive

Kids Should Thrive is an American child advocacy/fundraising organization and clothing brand owned and operated by HaXxXo VtotheZ; U.S.M.C. Veteran, Musician, Graphic Artist, Clothing Designer and Content Creator.

Kids Should Thrive began as a Facebook community action group founded by HaXxXo VtotheZ to help defend against San Diego Unified School District's decision to close down Thrive Public Schools. After attending the SDUSD Board Meeting in April 2019 {1st Clip, 2nd CLip}, HaXxXo VtotheZ realized that the group's efforts to protect San Diego Charter Schools would be in vain without ample publicity and support from the community so he founded the organization to bring the board's actions to light. Thrive Public Schools was eventually closed despite the group's efforts due to lack of engagement from affected parents and school staff so Kids Should Thrive now focuses on spreading awareness about the importance of individualized learning and the deeper connection that students can have with teachers that take a real interest in their educational development in an effort to prevent future schools from suffering the same fate as Thrive Public Schools.

Founded in 2019, Kids Should Thrive hosts various community fundraisers for charter and public schools alike and produces merchandise and apparel to support children's educational development and representation through HV^Z Studios at https://www.HaXxXoVtotheZ.com.

100% of all profits from Kids Should Thrive sales go towards funding representation at school board meetings, donations for children's school supplies/trip costs or other tools needed for school for those in need in addition to lobbying for changes to school board/the Department of Education's practices.
