Last month, we introduced the Dream Lake Elementary Ambassadors who were preparing for the Global Amazing Shake competition in Atlanta, described as “the Super Bowl of Soft Skills.” Eleven fourth and fifth graders from Dream Lake recently returned from their trip and fifth-grader Tyson Williams placed in the Top 8 out of over 360 students from around the world. The competition focused on skills like making introductory impressions, interview skills, etiquette, and reacting positively in real-world scenarios.
Carolyn Zuclich, Reading Specialist and Coach at Dream Lake, expressed how proud they were of all the students and highlighted Tyson’s achievement. She explained that the competition was scored on a scale of 1-20 and Tyson also participated in the Breakfast of Champions round, where he showcased his etiquette skills. Tyson’s Top 8 finish was historic for Dream Lake Elementary and he credited his fellow ambassadors for their support throughout the competition.
When asked about his favorite part of the experience, Tyson mentioned spending time with his fellow ambassadors and how their support was crucial to his success. Since the Global Amazing Shake is open to students in fourth through eighth grade, Tyson has the opportunity to return next year. He shared that one of his career goals is to become a barber because he enjoys helping people look good.
