(KAIR) -- It’s a sound that echoed through the gym of the Atchison Elementary School.
Kindergarten students’ speed stacking several cups into various forms, all in an attempt to set a Guinness World Record.
These students are looking to break the 2011 record of 412 thousand 259 people stacking at multiple locations in one day.
According to the World Sport Stacking Association, schools are trying to get 450 thousand people to stack by the end of the day.
As of 4:45 Thursday afternoon, over 190 thousand have been verified.
AES Physical Education teacher Amy Siebenmorgen says the students will continue stack after Thursday.

Guinness World Records requires that all schools and organizations must verify 25 stackers or more to register, participate and be counted.
Hundreds of schools are expected to participate, including as much as 12 hundred 50 at Sampson Elementary in Texas.
