Nominate a Young Southington Resident as 'Whiz Kid of the Week'

Is there an outstanding young resident you know of who deserves the spotlight?

Maybe this young man helps clean up his elderly neighbor’s yard or maybe a local young lady volunteers at the animal shelter? Perhaps they won an award or scholarship? Whatever good things young residents ages 5-18 are doing in our community, we want to hear about it.

Nominate a local resident doing good things as Patch’s “Whiz Kid of the Week.” In this weekly column, we are showcasing talented, smart and giving young members of our community.

Please send an email to Patch editor wendy.mitchell@patch.com with the following information:

• Whiz Kid’s name
• Age
• School
• Why is he/she a Whiz Kid?

Please include your name and email address, as well as a high-resolution photo of the nominee.
