Chelsea students participate in Guinness World Record effort

On November 12, students at Chelsea Intermediate School again participated in the annual World Sport Stacking Association (WSSA) STACK UP. They are part of an effort to set a new Guinness World Records® for the “World’s Largest Sport Stacking Event.” The 2015 goal is 610,000 stackers from 3,100 schools to beat last year’s record of 592,292 stackers.

Along with trying to break the World Record as they stacked cups, Chelsea students also participated in “Stack the Stock” by bringing in canned goods to stack and donate to the Frankfort Township Food Pantry. Parents were also invited to participate.

Sport stacking takes place in schools and youth organizations worldwide. It is appealing to teachers and students because it’s easy to learn but very challenging to master. Benefits include improved reaction time, hand-eye coordination, concentration and focus. The WSSA is the governing body for sport stacking and promotes stack meets, leagues and tournaments around the world. More information about the program is at http://www.thewssa.com.
