Olivia Crouch: Appetite For Life

We have some pretty cool kids in Marblehead and here at Patch, we want to feature them and the good things they do.

If you know a kid in town you think should be featured, drop an e-mail to Katherine@Patch.com and we'll make sure they become a whiz kid. 

Check back each Monday at 10 a.m. to see what local kid is this week's whiz.

This week's Whiz Kid is:

Name: Olivia Crouch

Age: 11

Grade: 5

Activities: Softball, Sewing, Skiing

What makes Olivia so awesome?

Olivia surprised her mom and dad 3 1/2 months too early. A micro-preemie, she wasn’t much heavier than a can of soda. Today, she is a thriving, perfectly healthy 5th grader who all consider a miracle kid, but that’s only part of what makes her amazing.

Olivia is a loyal sister, daughter and pet-owner, a Girl Scout, an avid skier, and a hard-working and excellent student. Kind, compassionate and imaginative, Olivia is a fantastic friend who is always up for any adventure or game, but is also perfectly happy snuggling under blankets to watch a movie.

For someone who started life so very tiny, Olivia has an enormous (and infectious) appetite for life -- and for meatloaf and lamb chops, two of her very favorite foods!
