CBS Evening News: A school didn't have an inclusive playground. Students stepped in to raise $300,000 to build one.
At Glen Lake Elementary School, recess is a mixed blessing. On the one hand, there's so much to do. But on the other hand, not everyone can do it.
Glen Lake has a lot of students with physical disabilities, but no wheelchair merry-go-round, swings, or any adaptive playground equipment, which really bothered the kids in Betsy Julien's fifth-grade class.
"It just didn't seem fair that some kids were just left out," Wyatt Feucht said.
"And it's really sad to see other kids go through that," Me'Ayila Priere said.
"They didn't look happy, and recess is about having fun," Rhys Riley added.
So one day, the students asked Julien why they couldn't just buy the equipment themselves.
