On the last Friday before Thanksgiving break, 92 students moved to the first round of The Amazing Shake, dubbed "The Gauntlet." This portion of The Amazing Shake features an obstacle course of 18 stations of real-life scenarios where students have 60 seconds to provide their best display of professional tact with the hope of earning respectable scores from the community judges. 

Principal Lori Gammill and the Amazing Shake team realize the importance of this event, which is a competition that places an emphasis on teaching students manners, discipline, respect, and professional conduct. 

Throughout the year students learn the nuances of professional human interaction as they are taught skills such as how to give a proper handshake and how to remain composed under pressure. 

The goal is to prepare our students so that they are able to present themselves exceptionally well for opportunities today as well as those that will come in the future.

At the end of the round the score cards were tallied and the top 26 students were named.  They will participate in round 2 - ā€œWork the Roomā€ on Friday December 10.
