Patch Whiz Kid of the Week: Isaiah Khan

Patch Whiz Kid of the Week

Name: Isaiah Khan, Grade 3

School: Forest Avenue Elementary School

Nominated By: Principal Stephen Pontes

Accomplishments: Isaiah is a "great student and natural leader," Pontes says.

Key to Awesomeness: Isaiah consistently makes good grades and all the right choices, says Principal Pontes. When he's not studying, he works on achieving his orange belt in karate. Through the Cross Pointe Church, Isaiah also volunteers in the soup kitchen, campaigns to stop human trafficking and collects donations for earthquake victims in Haiti. An avid reader, Isaiah is patiently waiting out the six weeks it will take before it's his turn to borrow "How to Train Your Dragon, Book 7" from the school library.

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 angelal@patch.com.
