All children have a right to play with their classmates at recess â and now theyâll also have the ability to do so in Frankford.
âJohn M. Clayton Elementary will finally have an accessible inclusive playground built so that all of the students can participate in recess and outdoor time,â said PTO Co-Chair Carrie Subity.
The community has truly made this happen, as several years of planning and fundraising led to a joyful, sunny and brisk installation day on Dec. 10.
âWe realized a few years ago there was a need for our children in wheelchairs with an inability to climb. We just figured we needed to do something for them. They literally have been only able to play with that sandbox over there,â she pointed across the field, toward the parking lot â. They didnât feel like they were included.â
