Body
Item Summary:
Guinness World Records announced that the school is the world record holder for the biggest game of Hide and Seek with 245 participants.  The middle school students, with the help of their faculty advisors, researched and submitted a proposal to Guinness World Records™ in March to attempt to break the record held by a group in Shiga, Japan with 188 Hide and Seek participants. The proposal was approved by Guinness World Records™ on April 18th.
 
The attempt took place on May 6th on the three acre soccer fields adjacent to the Roswell school. The attempt lasted for over an hour and included Roswell City Council and Rotary Club representatives as witnesses to the event.
