Nominate a 'Whiz Kid' Today

Know a great kid who made Eagle Scout? Or did your children's soccer team take the championship? Well, yes -- the girls' varsity soccer team actually did and they, among other amazing kids, are eligible to be our next Patch Whiz Kids honoree.

Our junior citizens of the community are quite deserving of recognition, so we're looking to highlight a Patch "Whiz Kid" of McMurray and/or Venetia each week -- individual kids and teens, youth groups, school leaders, sports team members and the list goes on. We need your suggestions!

Submit your nomination in the comment box below, or e-mail the information to andrea.bosco@patch.com.

Be sure to include the following: 

• Nominator's Name
• Nominator's E-Mail
• Whiz Kid's Name
• Whiz Kid's Age
• Whiz Kid's School
• Whiz Kid's Accomplishment
• Whiz Kid's Key to Awesomeness (what made him/her successful?)

If your nominee is selected, we'll contact you and assign a photographer to take a photo. Have a photo? Feel free to send it along. For questions, e-mail andrea.bosco@patch.com.

Stay tuned for our first Whiz Kid feature Thursday.
