We need YOU to help make our Annual Basket Auction a smashing success—and we promise, it’s more fun than science fair! Volunteers are the heart of this event, and your superpower could be the one that helps raise enough funds for teachers to attend the legendary Ron Clark Academy. Plus, you'll get to witness the magic of baskets being auctioned off, all while helping to send some truly deserving educators on an adventure that might just make them the coolest teachers ever. Sign up today – we’ll even throw in a virtual high-five!

The Amazing Shake is a competition designed to teach students manners, poise under pressure, and how to engage respectfully in a professional environment. At Aquarian, we want to prepare our students to present themselves well for opportunities today and in the future. This competition is a fun, engaging opportunity presenting a series of challenges replicating real-world scenarios, giving students a chance to hone their social skills and professionalism.

It’s our second year hosting the Amazing Shake event, and it’s time for more fun and some exciting changes. In 2025, K-3 students will again have a “shake-out” to find our K-3 champion.

New for 2025, all 4th-6th grade students will compete in Round 1, The Gauntlet on March 21st. The Gauntlet consists of ten fun and challenging stations that evaluate students’ professionalism, collegiality, and ability to interact with people. The top 25-30 gauntlet winners will participate in Round 2, a "work the room" scenario with local business leaders on March 27th. The top 5 finalists will sit down for a professional lunch for Round 3 with local VIPs who will select our 2025 Amazing Shake Champion! Stay tuned for volunteer opportunities! We need your help as we challenge our students to be Amazing!
