Whiz Kid: Nominate an Extraordinary Child or Teen

Do you know a local kid who does something extraordinary? Is your neighbor a professionally-trained ballerina, or did you nephew just break a school sports record? Does your teenager volunteer on her weekends, or does your son have a tutor who helps him through the tough math problems?

We want to hear about it. Starting this week, Plum-Oakmont Patch will spotlight a local child or teen who is making a difference. Nominate someone who deserves recognition for all their hard work.

Submit your nomination(s) in our comments box below or email the information to holly.usher@patch.com. Be sure to include all of the following information:
