How can we introduce our Hope Squad Members to the school and community?

Here are some suggestions on how schools can introduce their Squad Members to the student body:

  1. Introduce Members in an assembly, such as having them introduced by the school principal or by giving them a few minutes to lead their own assembly presentation
  2. Encourage Members to make a video introducing themselves
  3. Encourage Members to hand out balloons, lifesaver candies, or high fives as students arrive or leave school
  4. Host lunch activities for the Hope Squad Members to introduce Hope Squad to the school 
  5. Purchase Hope Squad swag (t-shirts, etc.) for Members to wear and ask Members to wear their t-shirts at the same time, such as during Hope Week or a specific day of the week.
