CLARK COUNTY, Ky. (LEX 18) — Shaking hands is a priority this week at Clark County Public Schools as students compete in the annual “Amazing Shake” competition. Throughout the week, students will face a number of personal challenges to test their competencies and abilities to think quickly.

The first task of the week is called the gauntlet. Students go station to station, facing different tasks or questions designed to test the ability of each student to think creatively, respond and adapt to potentially stressful situations, and maintain professionalism through it all.

“20 stations, 20 scenarios,” said Amber Murphy, an instructional specialist with Clark County Public Schools. “Really it's just thinking on your feet. It's very fast paced. Each station only lasts about 60 seconds.”
