Church Hill Middle School hosts ‘Amazing Shake' event
CHURCH HILL, Tenn. (WJHL) — Church Hill Middle School hosted its annual 'Amazing Shake' event on Monday. At the event, around 100 students rotated through different scenarios and were judged by volunteers on a proper handshake, good eye contact, the ability to think fast and to keep good conversations going. 'A lot of students have trouble when they come out to get jobs, introducing themselves and talking to people,' Principal Sherry Price said. 'We hope that we can send our students off to high school and beyond with the ability to talk to people and have conversations and just be as successful as [they] can be.' BVPD: Missing 13-year-old last seen Friday The top 40 students will then move on to the next round on May 1, which focuses on introductions, starting and ending conversations and asking to be scored on soft skills. 'The students love it, some are very hesitant,' Price said. 'They're kind of shy. So we coach them all year. We do a morning meeting from 8 to 8:30 every day in which we practice these skills. They do handshakes with each other. They have to start conversations and that kind of thing. They practice these things all year long so that they won't be so uncomfortable in the first round.'
