Whiz Kid(s): Young Artists

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

Each week, Roxborough-Manayunk 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 tsunnergren@gmail.com.

This week's Patch recognizes as Whiz Kids the young locals who will be participating in the Roxborough Development Corporation's upcoming student art show.

School: Students from Roxborough High School, Cook-Wissahickon Elementary, Dobson Elementary, Holy Child Catholic, and Levering Elementary will have their art displayed.

Accomplishment: On Sunday, May 1, from noon till 3 p.m., 6148 Ridge Avenue will host an art show outfitted exclusively with the work of these young artists. Later in the afternoon, an award ceremony will be held and the top artists will be honored for their paintings.

Key to Awesomeness: These students have the creative talent to produce real art, and the courage and confidence to submit it for viewing. Not a bad combination!
