GBS Beats 2 Guinness Records While Raising Funds to Combat Domestic Violence

Glenbrook South students are now the unofficial holders of two Guinness Book of World Records.

On Friday, students set the records by receiving 86 hugs from a mascot in one minute and taking 734 selfies on a single phone in one hour, according to the school’s Facebook page. The students did this while raising $1,000 for the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence.

The video the students made, which can be viewed below, shows a stream of students posing individually with the mascot as they each hold up a sign with a single or a few words on it. When strung together, the signs write out a message against domestic violence. “Glenbrook South stands against domestic abuse,” the message ends.
