A Whiz in the Classroom, and in Taekwondo

Tristan Trumbach, a student at Sope Creek Elementary School, just turned 9 years old on Sunday.

His mother, Renee Fettig, says he's been able to remain in the school's gifted program despite some major family changes, and has been earning some of the best grades he's ever had on his report card. 

"My son is a very wise, caring , compassionate person who is a strong believer of the Catholic religion," says his mom. 

In January, Tristan received a black belt in Taekwondo from the Moohan Martial Arts Academy on Johnson Ferry Road in East Cobb. 

Congratulations to Tristan Trumbach, this week's East Cobb Whiz Kid!
