Waitsburg School District

In Waitsburg, we aim to prepare our students to present themselves exceptionally well for today's opportunities and all that is to come in their bright futures.  On February 1st, Preston Hall Middle School traveled to the Amazing Shake Competition in Mattawa, WA. The Amazing Shake is a contest that places an emphasis on teaching students manners, discipline, respect, and professional conduct. Through the Amazing Shake (a competition originally created by the Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta, Georgia), students are introduced to the nuances of professional human interaction as they are taught various skills, such as how to give a proper handshake, how to provide high-quality answers in interviews, and how to remain composed under pressure. At the end of the contest, which was won by Waitsburg,  seven students earned the opportunity to compete in the National Amazing Shake in Atlanta, GA! The national competition will take place March 20th-24th.  Congratulations to these outstanding youth!
