The Amazing Shake is a competition that places an emphasis on teaching students manners, discipline, respect, and professional conduct.
Prior to the competition, students learn the nuances of professional human interaction as they are taught skills such as how to give a proper handshake, how to “work a room,” how to give a successful interview, 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.
The actual competition consists of case-scenario stations that every student must pass through while exercising etiquette, composure and savoir-faire. Top performers advance to the next level of challenges until there is ultimately one overall national champion.
This year's national competition took place at Atlanta's Ron Clark Academy on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. In Sunday morning's final round, the six finalists answered questions during an on-stage interview with Atlanta radio legend Ryan Cameron.
The winner for this year was Ron Clark Academy 7th grader Keanen Andrews! Congratulations to Keanen!
