Nominate Your Favorite Whiz Kid

Every week Naperville Patch honors a Whiz Kid or Kids. We are seeking nominations for local Whiz Kids.

Parents, grandparents, teachers, neighbors. We know you love to brag about your kids, grandkids, students and neighborhood stars. So, why not let everyone know how fabulous those kids are.

Every week on Naperville Patch we feature a Whiz Kid. Our whiz kids may be great students, members of sports teams, volunteers or all around great kids. We know there are a lot of wonderful kids throughout our community who are making a difference in their own special ways and we want to put a spotlight on them.

Nominating a whiz kid only takes a minute. First, think of a student you’d like to nominate. Then send an e-mail to Local Editor Mary Ann Lopez at maryl@patch.com. Include the students name, age, school, accomplishment and what makes them so awesome. A photo or contact information is also helpful, but not required.

Here is an example of a recent Whiz Kid column.

Through a partnership with Nancy’s Pizza, Whiz Kids receive a certificate good for a slice of pizza at either the Bolingbrook or Naperville Nancy’s.
