    It's electric! ⚡️🎶 Arkansas Children's sponsored Sylvan Hills schools in their quest to break the Guinness World Record for the World’s Longest Human Electrical Circuit – and with nearly 2 miles of 2,576 amped-up participants, they did it! As a proud partner of the Pulaski County Special School District’s biomedical sciences and business academies, Arkansas Children's provides support with curriculum development, guest speakers and job shadowing experiences. This year’s efforts culminated in May with this incredible record-breaking event. Congratulations to everyone who was part of this powerful community achievement. 💡 #AmpedUp #CommunityPower #GuinnessWorldRecord
