Long Beach Patch Seeking Whiz Kid Nominations

New feature will honor the top students in the community.

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

Each week, Long Beach Patch will seek suggestions from readers for individual kids, youth groups, teens, and even sports teams that wow us with their accomplishments. This is open for every grade level at every school in the Long Beach community.

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 Long Beach Patch Editor Joseph Kellard at josephk@patch.com. Be sure to include all of the following information:
