PS 199 on 70th Street near West End Avenue has posted pictures from art class of the city’s heroes, sometimes with names attached — including a “thanks mom” showing a doctor.
The posters show essential workers and were drawn by Ms. Hill’s online art class, according to a sign at the display.
Cross your fingers, this could be the first generation in decades to idolize people other than athletes and movie stars!
Thanks to Stephen Harmon for the photos. Click the images to enlarge them.

Wonderful! This is one of the nicest tributes I’ve seen.
