Tell Patch Why Your Kid Rocks

Did your daughter just help win a big game, or is your son wowing the neighborhood with his violin skills? Did she get straight A's last marking period, or did he help the community with an Eagle Scout project?

It doesn't matter how big or small an accomplishment is—kids find countless ways to make their parents and loved ones proud. And we'd like to spread the word. Help us identify the next  Patch Whiz Kid honoree.

We'll be selecting a kid a week from submissions sent to us by parents or legal guardians (or sent to us by others, but OK'd by parents). It's not a competition—we hope to be doing this for a long time, and want to spotlight all the wonderful accomplishments of our local kids.

So, know a Whiz Kid? Copy the form below into an e-mail, fill it out, and send it along with a picture to Noel.Aliseo@Patch.com. Feel free to pass the word on to your friends and neighbors (their kids are probably pretty awesome, too).

If you're nominating someone besides your own kid, please clear it with his or her parents, and include the parents' contact information so we can verify they're OK with the posting:
