Know an Outstanding Youngster? Send Patch 'Whiz Kid' Nominations

Every week, Diamond Bar Patch will feature an outstanding young person for going above and beyond the call of duty.

You know a "Whiz Kid" when you see one. They're the young people that make you inspired, hopeful, and confident about the next generation. 

They're the kids that are doing great things in our community and beyond. 

They're the kids (and young adults) that make you think, "I sure wish there were a way to recognize their accomplishments on a weekly basis in an engaging online format."

Maybe you didn't think the last part of that thought, but we hope you still find it as good of an idea as we do. 

That's why Diamond Bar Patch is again reaching out to all of the parents, teachers, students, school administrators, and just about everyone else to send in nominations for our Whiz Kid of the Week.
