Here are pictures from "Jump for the Record." On Monday, February 1, at exactly 9 a.m., Lowell School joined approximately 80,000 children throughout the State of California in a mass attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the, Most People Jumping/Skipping Rope at the Same Time.
From 9 a.m. to 9:10 a.m. on the Lowell playground, our students skipped rope along with other schools to break the existing Guinness World Record of 59,000 people, held by Australia. Our participants were among 80,000 Californians to jump over the record from down under. This event was a great and fun reminder that it doesn't require a great deal of money or expensive equipment to be healthy, fit and fight childhood obesity. All it requires is perhaps a good pair of shoes and a jump rope. Since this was a joint effort with the American Heart Association, donations were also collected for the American Heart Association.
