Whiz Kid: Lexi Lee Gives of Herself in Many Ways
Great grades, great heart make this 8-year-old this week's Whiz Kid.

Name Lexi Lee, 8 years old
School Home-schooled
Accomplishment Lexi is an A+ student, competes for Team Oswego Gymnastics and loves singing, dancing, art and reading.
What makes Lexi awesome Since she was 3 years old, Lexi has been saving up money in her "giving bank" to donate toys for Toys For Tots. Every year she sets a new goal and this past year she raised $100.
She does jobs to earn money whenever she can throughout the year and even puts her spending money into her giving bank. It is so important to her to help other children.
When she dropped off her Toys for Tots donation at in Oswego this year, the store employees were so moved by what she did, that they were brought to tears. They even let the corporate office know what she did and Lexi received a special letter of recognition and thanks from their corporate office.
