World Records
for Schools (WRS)
World
Records for Schools (WRS) is an educational association for the coordination
and publication of world records related to amazing, outstanding and unique
achievements by students and schools. WRS officials believe that when
schools attempt world records their students learn important skills--including
communication, concentration, cooperation, creativity, logistics, organization,
problem-solving strategies, self-discipline and respect for others.
WRS is an all-volunteer organization directed
and supported by professional educators. It publicizes and provides links
to world records held by groups of students and schools--along with the
organizations that recognize them--for the benefit of its worldwide Internet
audience of students, educators and parents. In addition, WRS occasionally
certifies and recommends records and rules to interested students and
schools.
