Guiness Book of World Records

Our Third Grade classes are part of a record event.

Mrs. Rainbolt had each class participated in an attempt to break the Guiness World Record for "Most People Sport Stacking at Multiple Locations in One Day." The previous record was of 222,560 people.

The final number submitted to the Guinness Book of World Records was for 276,053 people who stacked for at least one half hour representing 1,252 schools and organizations from 24 countries, including all 50 states in the U.S.

Congratulations to both classes for being part of a World Record!

To get a sense of stacking in action, the video below is of
