Nominate a 'Whiz Kid' to Feature on Patch

Each week, Patch will highlight Lemont's most talented, intelligent and all-around amazing youth.

If I've learned one thing since coming to , it's that there are a ton of amazing, talented kids.

Each week, we honor the best of the best with our "Whiz Kids" feature. The Wednesday column highlights Lemont students, athletes, volunteers and more—all of whom are 18 and younger.
