MENDOTA HEIGHTS, Minn. — Most kids love it when their school day lets them outside. But not all kids can take full advantage of being with friends at recess.

Somerset Elementary in Mendota Heights has a solution to fix that: an adaptive playground.

When built, Somerset will have just the fifth inclusive school playground in Minnesota. Any donations would help .
