The Kelly Clarkson Show: Minnesota Teacher Gives Emotional Update After Students Raise $500K For Accessible Playground

February 1, 2023

Glen Lake’s Betsy Julien sits down with Kelly Clarkson to share how the students of Glen Lake transformed their dreams into reality, and made our community a more welcoming place where all can play.

Out of the 450 students at Glen Lake Elementary School in Minnesota, nine of them use a wheelchair.

One of those nine kids is the son of 5th and 6th-grade teacher Betsy, who realized the school's playground was not inclusive to students with disabilities.

Betsy shares the emotional story of how her class rallied around their fellow students who use wheelchairs and raised over $500,000 to completely revamp their playground, making it accessible to everyone.
