HIGHLIGHT: UTAH

-

St. George: Students in Washington County with mobility issues will no longer have to watch as their peers play on the playground while they look on from the sidelines, thanks to a fleet of pumper cars. Each elementary school in the district will be equipped with two pumper cars, with the intent of helping mobilityim­paired kids participat­e in recess and physical education class. The cars were donated by Stephen Wade Auto Center, which teamed with Toyota USA to purchase 58 pumper cars. Douglas Keck, director of developmen­t for the cars, says they were designed as toys but found a customer base with physical therapists.
