Introducing: 'Whiz Kid' Nominations Now Accepted

You brag about your kids. You brag about your students. You brag about your friends when they do something awesome.

But if you're going to do it, do it right. Make the bragging count.

And incidentally, we can help you do that.

This is what you do:

If you know a great kid who made Eagle Scout or won a scholarship or completed an impressive volunteer project, they may be our next Patch Whiz Kids honoree.

Each week, Canon-McMillan 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 Amanda.Gillooly@patch.com.

Nominator's Name
Nominator's E-Mail
Whiz Kid's Name
