The kid in blue with glasses, that’s the one that got me, his parents should be super proud of the kid that he’s turned into

[@spaceycasey2226]

He got me crying. You can tell he has a big heart and is very empathetic. And the teacher just loves her students so much, you can tell she's very proud

[@michelleruffin6903]

Crying because in a world where I see so many heartless, cruel children this is so beautiful. Thank you parents who got it right. God bless you. I wish I could give everyone of the givers and recipients a hug ❤❤❤

[@noraalbright777]

Wow!! I’m getting impressed by the young ones…who cared about classmates and ALL pitched in!! Great job!! That says a lot!!

[@lucasgalvan9737]

Thank you Steve for a great story. Those kids will become great adults.

[@paulinaguillen6578]

I don't understand how this video has not gone viral.. I will continue to share and post this until everyone in the world can see that there is still hope for the future 🙏 ❤️ 💙 💜 💗 God is love.

[@Lee_Forre]

simple acts of kindness, this is what it's all about. we can make sucha difference in peoples lives by doing simple acts of kindness. It may be surprising to some to learn that a lot of people go years without hearing a kind word or experiencing genuine love. It's not asking a lot to be better to eachother.

[@kristenkaz3080]

Dang it Steve! You did it again-cue the TEARS. GOOD JOB KIDS!!! BE PROUD OF YOURSELVES & YOUR FELLOW STUDENTS. YOU’RE ROCK STARS.

[@lindagardenlady]

You have nailed it again...another inspiring story!! ❤️❤️ No one left out or behind. Bravo😊😍

[@vincenthuynh5847]

Can't wait to see these kids put this on their college resume! God bless these good Samaritans!!!

[@elissaanne1953]

[@Xx-ib6bf]

Way to Go, Glen Lake elem. School kids!! This is Great. Giving the opportunity for All kids to be and play together makes a big difference.

[@Blissfulnessence]

Aww, that is amazing and beautiful! God bless them all.

[@xavierbrad]

We all need to hear more stories like this.

[@user-vm5ud4xw6n]

Great kids. Their parents must be so proud! I would be. Hope we get to see the new playground!!

[@HashknightGaming]

The interviewer is a super human not crying he was on the edge of it tho.

[@marymar1559]

Make sure we see the follow up when the new equipment is installed!

[@roydane9861]

I figure the country is going to get better and better as these young people keep doing great things.

[@debbiecooper1677]

OMG those kids are going to be great leaders. you all should be so proud of them.

[@eldavis1311]

[@Createshareandgive]

Brett Farve should take notes..

[@keaghlancaffee]

Must see a end result seeing them all playing together finally ❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭

[@lwgoinghome]

Awesome!! Hope for the future.

[@pollito7275]

This just proves kids are better humans than us adults!

[@2-old-Forthischet]

Maybe they should ask the kids how to balance the budget.

[@spidrawebster]

Accessible playground (and all other infrastructure) should be standard. What these kids did was lovely and shows what happens when you actually care about people rather than view it as "burdensome legal compliance". It would be nice to see regular coverage of systemic violations of ADA and other laws that long ago called for accessibility. Let's get some coverage of what needs to change. It should not be the work of schoolkids to show adults how to be compassionate. Good on them, but the adults need to learn the lesson.

[@lizziebakeoven3225]

Thank you!!! I don't understand why the rest of the comments aren't the same.

[@Advocate.bettie]

School playgrounds and federally obligated to be accessible. I commend the efforts don't get me wrong I just want everyone to know you don't need to fundraise because they have a federal obligation to pay for an accessible playground.

[@AmireDivine55]

Steve Hartman- Minnesota nice at it best- You betcha

[@dafnimbus]

We are all disabled in some way. It took a class in grade school to act on it.

[@GiftFromGod4U]

❤❤❤❤❤ best story so far for 2023

[@urdying]

This is so heartwarming! I love this! :)

[@Zorazora1234]

I come back to this story often to feel better about the world .

[@allisonmanning3997]

Beautiful, and inspiring!

[@richbl1690]

Heart warming

[@sandbridgekid4121]

How much miserly can that School Board be? They should be ASHAMED. Why do these kids have to raise this money!? One adaptive playground equals one overpriced, unneeded educational consultant! We should be proud of these kids, but the School District has NO shame.

[@christi186]

This is absolutely heartwarming ❤

[@203laurenn]

Thanks kids, amazing work. Put this on your resume for your first job.

[@HashknightGaming]

Little guy crying is going to get me crying.

Why the hell did it become the kids job to do what our tax dollars and education system should have. The children should NEVER have had to do this.

[@ievgeniagodynskyi1049]

Bravo!👏👏👏 to both sides💪

[@migglemaggle9500]

These kids will use their heads in the future.

[@Magdalena287]

I wonder if this is around Minnetonka, my son who has autism went to OT there and that little girl in the hijab looks incredibly familiar. She was always smiling and very sweet in the waiting room

[@שושכהן-ס6ק]

Why Adults Should Play Playing is a very important means for development. When we play, we develop new relationships and connections. While it is common knowledge that children need to play in order to develop, which is why we buy them games and put a lot of effort into working out the most suitable games for each stage of their development, it is not so clear with us adults. We do not really like to play. Our relations end up quickly deteriorating into each one of us degrading the other, which ends our playing. As a result, we miss out on a lot of what we can get out of life. We fail to examine all of our options for development as adults, and we thus put a halt to our further development. We have turned our daily lives into a prison of sorts. That is, we need to look, behave and talk in certain kinds of ways-and only in those certain kinds of ways-otherwise, we will not fit in with others and gain their respect. Without their respect, we get treated in ways that harm us. We suffer from living in such a prison, but it has become so ingrained into our lives that we cannot escape from it. The essence of our playing as adults should be that we treat each other positively even if we do not feel like it, and to teach others to do the same. Playing in such a way would emulate the higher state of positive connection that nature is developing us toward, and we would thus draw positive forces of connection that dwell in nature into our relations, and start feeling happier, more confident, and that our lives are purpose-driven.

[@ievgeniagodynskyi1049]

I have been crying watching this. Beautiful ❤ might it happen if we still have hope for the human future?

[@lizhall2961]

Awesome kids! Much better than most politicians!

[@davidthaler7018]

To the “anti-woke” crowd looking to rag on the inclusiveness: These kids are more mature and compassionate than you’ll ever be.

[@aldennakano3291]

Inspired by children....thanks again Steve!!

[@abhiramakella7146]

They could start a GoFundMe page.

[@jinkynibalbos1209]

❤️🙏

[@wc6442]

The children are doing the supposed adults job. The adults should have been able to get the money from these corporations. But I tell you my heart is full for them being so kind, considerate and selfless. They deserve all the praise. If we put them in charge we could solve all our problems and the adults would go along if only from embarrassment.😅😅

[@heatherkimler7607]

Nice suit

[@karenrich9092]

If they can raise money for a handicapped accessible playground imagine what else they could do? And the adults are probably hanging their heads in shame for not saying, "Why not?"

Waste of $300k

[@blackout07blue]

Republicans: "This is a waste of money!"

[@Gspeezy13]

Democrats "let's send more money to Ukraine"

[@rich2583]

@mikea9516 how can the chosen contractors fleece taxpayers?

[@relsae9576]

This is so special! What a wonderful group of kids. 🥹❤

[@joesullivan259]

That’s $100k per student … for what? So they can wheel across the playground?

[@yvonneplant9434]

Why such a hateful comment?

[@CharltonHestonFan1]

Maybe. They didn't detail how many kids would be served. But why should that be of concern to you? The money raised was through the efforts of the classmates and the generosity of donors who believed that serving other students, whether three (or three-hundred), was a worthwhile endeavor. To my understanding, no tax dollars were used so it's not as if they wrenched the money out of your own fists. Tender-hearted children and generous adults working together to erase the loneliness and stigma of being different, and who accept with open caring arms those whom are most-often rejected... that's not something to which you can attach a price tag. I hope, Joe, you'll soon experience your own Scrooge-like epiphany and eventual peace.

[@idontthinkusawthat]

I agree all inclusive playgrounds loses alot of features for kids and therefore are worse and just not fun but at least Timmy can roll around.
