McDougle helps set record

Posted on October 20, 2011 by Staff

Students and teachers at McDougle Elementary School helped 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 had to complete one minute of jumping jacks within a designated 24-hour window. McDougle participated as part of the Healthy Schools Alliance Bronze Award requirements to increase physical activity in schools. First Lady Michelle Obama kicked off the designated period with jumping jacks of her own at the White House.
