Ninety-five Keller Shake Semifinalists demonstrated their mastery of a firm handshake and strong communication skills at the October 17 contest. Out of the 95 Semi-Finalists, 29 were named Keller Shake Finalists.

Keller Shake is a competition throughout the district in the elementary school theatre departments, where students learn the value of voice, diction, eye contact, and a firm handshake. The emphasis is on educating the whole child with a greater understanding of conversational and social skills. The following finalists will return to the Education Center on October 30, where they will meet and visit with professionals from the community, for a chance to be named Keller Shake Champion!

The Keller Shake is funded by a generous grant from the Hudson Foundation.
