Whiz Kid: Maddie Howard
School: Fort Zumwalt North High School
Nominated By: Susan Howard
Accomplishments: Maddie started her own charity to benefit the homeless.
Key to Awesomeness: Susan said, "My daughter Maddie has started her own charity, Warm A Heart. She started this her sophomore year. Essentially, it is a blanket drive that she conducted all by herself. In addition to this, she has a proposal before the administration at Fort Zumwalt North to sponsor a cheerleading competition next year with all proceeds going to teen suicide awareness and prevention. It is going to be called, Cheer Up! The purpose is to raise funds and awareness for teen suicide, but also give the cheerleaders a chance to compete like the other athletes in their schools."

I've known Maddie for a couple of years and think she is a tremendous kid. To see teenagers like her working so hard to help others really makes me feel good about our future leaders. And Maddie will definitely be one of those "leaders." Keep up the good work, Maddie! Linda Z.
