A 7-year-old boy from Pennsylvania has broken a Guinness World Record by wearing 50 sweaters at once. Skyler Rozell-Whitaker completed the challenge on June 1 at Monroeville Public Library in the United States. The attempt took place in the library’s Children’s Room.

Skyler was trying to set the record for the most sweaters worn at the same time. Guinness World Records later checked the evidence from the attempt. It confirmed that his total of 50 sweaters beat the previous record of 46.

The library shared the news on social media after the challenge. Wearing so many sweaters at once would have been a difficult and unusual task. Skyler’s achievement shows how a fun idea can become a world record.

The sweaters used in the challenge will not go to waste. Monroeville Public Library said they will be donated to its annual sweater drive in the autumn. This means the record-breaking jumpers will also help people in the community.

On Saturday morning, a group of Year 8 students met at a beach near Tauranga for a community clean-up. They brought gloves, sacks, and water bottles. At first, the sand looked almost clean, but as the group moved closer to the rocks, they found bottles, food wrappers, and fishing line tangled in the seaweed. One student noticed that small pieces of plastic were hardest to collect because they blended in with the shells. By midday, the students had filled eight large bags. Their teacher said the real success was not only the rubbish they removed, but also the way the students helped protect the wildlife that lives along the shore.
