Patch Whiz Kid of the Week: Shaday Viruet

Patch Whiz Kid of the Week

Name: Shaday Viruet - Grade 12

School: Rogers High School

Accomplishments: Shaday has been helping young girls in high school and elementary school achieve positive body images and started a club at Rogers High School called “The Secrets of Loving Yourself.”

Key to Awesomeness: “My motivation is a simple quote: 'Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent,' by Eleanor Roosevelt,” she said. Shaday said there was no one at Rogers who was educating girls about the different between “real and fake beauty,” so she made it her own personal endeavor. She educates others on the smoke and mirrors that are beauty and fashion advertisements and believes that it is important to help and take care of one another.

Know a great kid who deserves to be honored? They could be our next Patch Whiz Kid honoree.

Each week, Newport Patch will seek suggestions from readers for individual  kids, youth groups, teens, and even sports teams or clubs 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.
