Patch Whiz Kid of the Week: Natajze Cooper

This Haymon-Morris Middle School student is doing great things.

  • Name, age: Natajze Cooper, 12
  • School: Haymon-Morris Middle School
  • Accomplishments: Perfect attendance and honor roll while maintaining a demanding, five-days-a-week gymnastics practice schedule in level 7/8 gymnast, with scores higher than 9.0. Natajze attended the Cancun Classic Gymnastics Meet in Cancun, Mexico, where she did an outstanding job.
  • Key to awesomeness: "Well, with my life being so structured with gymnastics and also me being dedicated, I maintain my high grades and hard work or else I feel unorganized."

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