By RANDY HARRISON

Washington Elementary School first-graders were recently among students from around the world who participated in a school project that was good enough to eat.
Students in Melanie Corn's class took part in the OREO (Our Really Exciting Online) Project, along with children in 46 states plus Australia, Canada, Germany, Japan, Puerto Rico, Scotland and Thailand.
The goal was to see how many Oreo cookies students could stack before they tumbled over.
Each student took two turns. They were not allowed to use anything to stabilize the cookies, nor were they allowed to adjust the cookies as they stacked. And they were encouraged to speculate how many Oreos they thought they would be able to stack and then compare their actual results.
Corn submitted a class average based on each child's highest stack. Branton Scott's stack was the tallest with 24 cookies. The class average was 17.
