Know An Arlington Kid (Or Teen) Doing Good Things?

Know a child who goes above and beyond to help those in need? How about a student who's constantly setting the bar higher day by day? Or maybe a youngster who has endured an amazing journey already in life?

Patch is looking for parents, schools and organizations to nominate an Arlington student, sports team, school club member, and any other outstanding youngster for a new weekly feature, Whiz Kid.

Whether they're a math whiz, a soccer whiz, a fundraiser whiz or anything in between, want want your nominations. Candidates can be anywhere from preschool to college.

We want to stress that this is not a competition. We will be featuring an Arlington Whiz Kid (or class or team) each week on Wednesdays, so the more the merrier!

Nominations should be submitted in the comment box right here or by e-mailing Ballston Editor Abby Albright: abigail@patch.com. Nominations should include:

• Nominator's name
• Nominator's e-mail
• Whiz Kid name
• Age
• School
• Outstanding Deed
• Key to Awesomeness

We will send our nominees some contact info, and once selected we will have this Whiz Kid meet with one of our writers for a short interview to see what makes them so awesome.

Don't forget! You can nominate your own child as our Whiz Kid!
