Do You Know A Whiz Kid?

Media Patch is looking from some talented, awesome kids.

Hey, do you know a great whiz kid?

Know a great kid who made Eagle Scout, or did your local soccer team take the championship? They may be our next Patch Whiz Kid honoree.

Each week, Media Patch will seek suggestions from readers for individual kids, youth groups, teens, and even sports teams that wow us with their accomplishments.

We want to hear about these amazing children and teens, and select one each week as the Patch Whiz Kid.
