It's OFFICIALLY official! All of our SYLVAN HILLS feeder schools are Guiness World Record holders!! We received word on June 28 that the schools' attempt to break the record of the longest human electric current was a success. Another month later, we have the certificates to prove it! The leadership teams for each school received a certificate to display at their schools. As a token of appreciation for sponsoring the event, Arkansas Children's Hospital received a certificate as well.
