Whiz Kid: Eve Head

Patch Whiz Kid of the Week

Name/Age: Eve Head, 7

School: James Dobson Elementary School, Manayunk

Accomplishment: Well-rounded student who excels in academics, sports and other extra-curricular activities.

Key to Awesomeness: “Eve is such a successful child because of her sweet disposition, caring nature and thirst for knowledge,” wrote teacher Maria DePaola, who nominated Eve for this week’s “Whiz Kid.”

DePaola said Head is an A/B student at Dobson, an active Girl Scout for nearly three years, enjoys dancing, and is about to start playing softball through the 21st Ward league.

Eve also enjoys helping her little brother learn to read and likes to take care of her baby cousin.

“Eve is a very loving and caring child,” DePaola wrote.

Know a great kid who made Eagle Scout or did your local soccer team take the championship? They may be our next Patch Whiz Kid honoree.
