Five Douglas County School District schools participated in an attempt to break the world record for jumping jacks Oct. 11-12.
The schools are helping National Geographic Kids magazine set the Guinness World Records title for the most people doing jumping jacks in a 24-hour period. To break the record, more than 20,000 people worldwide needed to complete 1 minute of jumping jacks between 1 p.m. Oct. 11 and 1 p.m. Oct. 12.
By last count, 1,617 county students took part, but it’s not yet clear if the record was broken.
Here is the breakdown:
Cougar Run Elementary: 482 students
Franktown Elementary: 269 students
Sierra Middle School: 232 students
Wildcat Mountain Elementary: 579 students
Cherry Valley Elementary: 55 students
