Bridge Street Middle School teacher Heather Vickers and her students are involved in a unique project inspired by an exceptional young lady. Melody Day suffers from cerebral palsy (CP), and her condition prevented her taking part in common playground activities. As sixth-grade student in Missouri in 2020, she imagined a more inclusive playground for students who must use a wheelchair. Her ideas led to the creation of The Melody Garden, which is “a playground for all kids – including kids who use wheelchairs, like her.” On Thursday, Bridge Street students visited the all-inclusive J.B. Chambers Wheeling YMCA Playground to make observations about how the playground is similar and different to Melody’s playground and traditional playgrounds in Wheeling and Ohio County. Ms. Vickers said it was an important lesson for her students, and she said she was excited to see her students’ ideas on accommodating those with needs like Melody. #TogetherWeAchieve #WVEd
