Whiz Kids: Tibbott Students Lead School in Pledge to America

Each week,  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. Know a great kid who made Eagle Scout? Did your local soccer team take the championship? Or maybe your youngster just did all of his or her chores this weekend? They can all be our next Patch Whiz Kid honoree.

Submit your nomination in our comment box below or e-mail the information to Local Editor Brian Feldt at brianf@patch.com. Be sure to include all of the following information included below.

But enough with the plugs, this week's Whiz Kid is...

• Whiz Kid: Omar Castillo and Kevin Januska
• Age: K-5th Grade
• School: 
• Key to Awesomeness: Tibbott Elementary School students Omar Castillo and Kevin Januska raise the flag with support from former Marine and Tibbott alum Kevin Govoni who is now a DuPage County Deputy Sheriff, and Air National Guard 2^nd Lt.
