Giant FM Real Radio and the Shelby County Post participated in the Shelby Shake, a face-to-face interview event held Friday morning for Shelbyville Middle School seventh graders.

Kristiaan Rawlings, a Language Arts teacher at SMS, organized the event that put community leaders in front of SMS boys and girls to learn communication skills.

Forty-seven stations were set up in the SMS media center and manned by invited guests for nearly an hour. Once the language arts honors students gathered Friday morning during second period, they moved from station to station, introduced themselves and answered questions from the community members.

Students that met with GIANT fm News and Sports Director Johnny McCrory and Shelby County Post News Editor Jeff Brown had their interviews recorded. They were asked questions about the Shelby Shake event as well as their interests both in and out of school.
