Students set new stuffed animal record
Shawseen elementary school in Massachusetts USA is hoping that it's efforts have set a Guinness World Record after collecting at least 5,600 stuffed animals for charity.
Mounds of stuffed animals crowded the gymnasium of the Shawsheen School in Andover during a Monday assembly when students were informed of their accomplishment by Principal Moira O'Brien.
Apparently, the school has held a stuffed animal charity collection the past 12 years, linking Phillips Academy and Andover High School tutors with Lawrence middle school students.
Some of the plush animals will be awarded to Lawrence students and the remainder will go to kids in orphanages, medical centers and libraries in Belize.
The school are anxiously waiting to hear that their Guinness World Record claim has been accepted.
