Hope Squad bracelet game and spirit week push students to socialize
Summary
During spirit week students played a Hope Squad rock–paper–scissors bracelet game; participants described collecting bracelets and socializing, and one student described winning "bragging rights" for most bracelets.
Students at Southern Kern Unified used spirit-week activities to encourage interaction, including a bracelet-collection game run by Hope Squad in which players win bracelets through rock–paper–scissors matches. One student explained the rules on the bulletin: "Make sure to go around and meet new people by channeling them to rock, paper, scissors. The 1 with the most bracelets wins bragging rights."
Participants reported varying totals of bracelets. One student said, "I got, like, about 1,500 bracelets, guys," while others reported totals ranging from one to the high tens. Several students described the week as "pretty cool" and said the activities forced them to socialize with classmates they might not otherwise meet.
The segment framed spirit week as a student-driven effort to build connection. The bulletin identified Hope Squad as the organizer of at least one activity but did not provide details on adult supervision, prize structures beyond "bragging rights," or any district approvals for the activity.
