Fabyan Elementary Students Go For World Stacking Record

It will be cup crazy on Thursday, Nov. 14, as Fabyan Elementary School students join hundreds of thousands of participants in the eighth annual World Sport Stacking Association STACK UP, an event Guinness World Records terms the “World’s Largest Sport Stacking Event.”

Sport stacking has been termed a “track meet for your hands at warp speed.”  It is an exciting sport where students "up stack" and "down stack" 12 specially designed cups called Speed Stacks in predetermined sequences as fast as they can. 

Last year, 483,658 stackers from around the globe participated in the WSSA STACK UP. Sights are set on 500,000 stackers participating, and among those half-million people will be students at Fabyan Elementary School. 

Fabyan students will participate in the cup stacking fun during PE from noon to 2 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 14. 

In addition to the fun of participating in a potentially world-record-breaking event, sport stacking also promotes fitness, teamwork, and speed. Benefits also include improved reaction time, hand-eye coordination, concentration and focus.
