CMSLA Students Compete in Amazing Shake

A team from Crawford Middle School Leadership Academy recently competed in the 2026 Global Amazing Shake in Atlanta. This annual contest tests students on manners, discipline, and respect skills through a fun and memorable experience and enables them to engage with local business leaders. The competition also introduces students to networks, roles, opportunities, and career paths that they might not have considered before.

Crawford’s team included:

• Victor Carter Ethridge
• Marvin Guillen
• Fernando Lopez
• Kaliyah Washington
• Virtue Watkins

During the Amazing Shake, students learned and developed professional qualities — from the mechanics of a proper handshake to how to “work the room” so they are able to present themselves exceptionally well for opportunities today and in the future. This event was hosted by the Ron Clark Academy.
