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.

Upcoming time change means changing batteries in smoke detectors.

On March 9, 1959, the first Barbie doll goes on display at
the American Toy Fair in New York City.

Eleven inches tall, with a waterfall of blond hair, Barbie
was the first mass-produced toy doll in the United States
with adult features. The woman behind Barbie was Ruth
Handler, who co-founded Mattel, Inc. with her husband
in 1945.
