SAN ANTONIO (WOAI/KABB) — Legacy Traditional School in
Alamo Ranch
is on a mission to break a Guinness World
Record using 42,000 Lego bricks.

The school began its ambitious project earlier this week,
aiming to surpass the previous record by more than 22,000
bricks. The effort involves a team of four builders, including
the school’s principal, two district representatives, and a
current Lego world record holder.

To ensure the attempt is official, two witnesses must be
present at all times, as per Guinness World Records
guidelines.
