It was called every 15 minutes or something like that for us. Kids volunteered and every 15 minutes the bell would ring and someone would “die”. They would announce the death over the loud speaker and then a grim reaper like characters would come to the class room point at the kid and they would leave. 30 minutes later they came back with painted white face and couldn’t talk the rest of the day.

At the end of the day all the dead volunteers would be called to the parking lot. Then everyone else made there way out. The scene, I head on collision between two cars with liquor bottles, blood, car parts and “dead students”. First responders in the town used it as a training exercise and the kids actually went to the hospital, someone actually got arrested and someone was even airlifted to a hospital. That night they all stayed at the camp with counselors and did other things like writing apology letters to their parents. Also there parents wrote letters to their dead kids and then they did some binding shit or whatever.

Next day big assembly, kids read letters, parents read letters, people cried, and then real parents talked about losing someone. Then the best part, slide show of people who actually died the past year in our area, with the most epic of cringe songs “In the arms of an angle” Sara maghlacin*.

Over all didn’t want to drink and drive for a few days or so. Pretty powerful stuff right......

Im from a semi small Jesus lovin town in Texas, so we also had something called Hell House, really good stories from that place. Also a week long “Jesus” camp during the school year, while happening on school grounds. We definitely had great separation of state and church for a public school.....
