Supervised Agricultural Experiences (SAE).'Big changes are coming to Thornhill,' Tracy says. Down the road, the group would like to look at the cost of adding an outdoor skating rink, as well as possibly building a shelter to warm up and lace up skates in the winter.

'I'll do the calling around, and ask the big questions, but otherwise they need to do everything,' Tracy says. Tracy Peters, Brooklynn's mom, says parents and adults are letting the kids take the reins, adding the initiative has come entirely from the youth. They have another fundraiser in the works for January.

Their next step was to spread the idea among the kids in Thornhill, which became the genesis for Kids That Kare. Together they've set their goal at $1,000.
