Cory-Rawson Local Schools held its third annual Amazing Shake event on March 26, 2025. The program gives seventh grade students an opportunity to be authentically assessed on skills from their year-long Thrive class. 

Thrive is based on the district's Portrait of a Hornet attributes of communication, relationship-building, critical thinking and resilience.

All seventh graders begin the day in the first round, the Gauntlet. Featuring 20 stations, students perform a variety of impromptu tasks including problem-solving, solving a customer service issue, responding to a rude restaurant server, making a medical appointment via phone and a variety of interviews.  Volunteer community partners from a number of companies and organizations judge each station.  MORE
