A weekly feature highlighting the best of Brookhaven's Kids!
While twins often share only a birthdate and similar looks, Sammy and Kelly Fisher share much more than that! These 8 year old red heads are both part of the Discovery (gifted) Program at Ashford Park, as well as award winning students. Their strong sense of empathy and compassion not only come across in the way they listen, learn and respect people around them, but has earned them a spot on the front page of the Brookhaven Reporter highlighting a lemonade stand they created with their friends, raising $45 to help with a new playground for their school. Both girls have won a Flying Eagle Award, honoring straight A students, two years running, and they have also both won a Student of the Month award the past two years, along with Student …

There is no debate that this Brookhaven Fields resident is a special kid!

Blake Morain became the youngest black belt his studio had ever had, which is no surprise given all the other accomplishments this 10 year old has under his proverbial belt. He is a lacrosse player, a baseball player, a triathalete, a basketball player, a class representative, a mentor for a special needs baseball team, all while maintaining A's in school. But his mother, Kristine Morain, believes this just is all part of what makes him such a cool kid. ' He's one of those kids where whatever he does he is 100 percent ino it, and he is always being introduced to different things,' she said.
