Whiz Kid's Key to Awesomeness: "The reason this is important is because it is a group of students that are working to bring an awareness of safe driving to an entire community," said adviser Sarah Kapitan. Kaptian explained that JSI influences more than just the student body at Jacobs High School, but it is reaching out to residents of Algonquin.
