Students raise another $100K for accessible playground at Glen Lake Elementary
HOPKINS, Minn. – Minnesota kids led the charge, and now kindness is overflowing for a Twin Cities elementary school.
WCCO's Susan-Elizabeth Littlefield first brought us to Glen Lake Elementary in Hopkins back in December. Kids there wanted a more accessible playground so their friends in wheelchairs could play, too.
They started making calls and door-knocking to raise $300,000. We shared a big update with you last week that an anonymous donor surprised them with $200,000.
