On March 23, 2024 Hartford Public Schools joined the World Sport Stacking Association for Hartford's 1st Annual Sport Stacking Competition! Competition was free for Hartford School District Students & Staff and took place at Capital Preparatory Magnet School.
We had participants from Hartford Public Schools, CT, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, New Hampshire, Illinois and Minnesota! We hop this will be an annual event.
Many HPS staff members and students were among the winners! See the winners list here and below.

Kelsey Maxwell, the HPS Acting Assistant Director of Arts and Wellness recalls, "We also had a recreational Parent-child double where each person had to use one hand and complete the 3-6-3 stack together. It's called the parent-child double but could be a student and teacher. Capital Prep Assistant Principal, Dr. Davern and one of her students came in 4th place and Khushal Sai Kothakota from Annie Fisher STEM and his dad came in 3rd place. The student winners received a gift card; gift cards were donated by Big Y, Stop and Shop, and Shop Rite. The first and second place winners were from outside of HPS."
