Mardy, a special education teacher, wanted to build a playground for kids with disabilities. She knew it wouldn’t     long to arouse（引起）interest in the project. But she     expected that a third of the town would    their sleeves to bring her vision to life!
“A lot of learning comes through play,” said Mardy, “But my    students (with special needs) are too often left out because      playgrounds will stop wheelchairs dead in their tracks.”
The city committee      to mark out a piece of land for the playground.
The Kiwanis Club came through with $7,000 and that’s     the grassroots movement really got started. Soon small businesses were giving some money. The local Pieper Foundation      to donate half of the remaining $170,000 balance.
Finally Mardy      a considerable sum of money that could      the construction materials. And what Mardy      was 500 volunteers work six 12-hour days.
On the first day of the construction, a lot of people came. Two women heard about the      on the way to work and took the day      to help. A couple drove the tool truck. Families brought pieces of wood for the fence and bricks for walkways.
“It was truly a(n)      week, you know,” said Mardy very proudly.      with construction experience became organizers. Those who could      power tools formed a separate group. One team served     donated from local churches, and another organized activities for children of volunteers.
Today the playground is one of most  3   destination in the area. There’s a rocking ship, a climbing wall, high and low rings, and monkey bars. All children play shoulder to shoulder on the same playground having      whether they are able-bodied or disabled. It’s      what Mardy imagined. You’ll love it.
