🎉 Congratulations to our 2026 Amazing Shake Jr. winners! 🎉
WINNER: Allia Rogers - Fairfax Elementary - 4th grade
Second Place: Cailer Tucker - Fairfax Elementary - 5th grade
Third Place: Jewel Bowman - Eastside JP Powell Magnet School - 5th grade
The Amazing Shake is a character and soft-skills competition where students practice real-world professionalism—think firm handshakes, clear introductions, confident conversation, problem-solving on the spot, and gracious manners. Over multiple “stations,” they met community judges, tackled quick scenarios, and showed poise under pressure. It’s all about preparing students to shine in interviews, presentations, and everyday life.
Our winners stood out for their confidence, clarity, and kindness. They listened well, responded thoughtfully, and handled each challenge with maturity—well done!
👏 Big cheers to our champions and to every participant who stepped up with courage and heart. Thank you to our judges, staff, and families for the support!
