Nominate an Amazing Fort Lee Youth as a 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, Fort Lee 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. Submit your nomination in our comment box below or e-mail the information to erik.wander@patch.com.

We've already featured student athletes who also excel in school (see here and here) and one notable bench player who has been singing the National Anthem before every home girls basketball game, but Whiz Kids don't have to be athletes, and they don't have to be singers. We're wide open to suggestions, so keep them coming!

Be sure to include all of the following information:

• 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. For questions, e-mail erik.wander@patch.com. Emails should include the title "Whiz Kid" in the subject line.
