Specially designed swing

Bakersfield School art teacher Lauren Sanders recently designed a new playground swing especially for kindergartner Avey Fyffe, who is confined to a wheelchair. The swing was built by Bakersfield maintenance staff members Rick Bales, left, and Jason Marsh. “I always knew Bakersfield was a special place,” said superintendent Amy Britt in a post on the school’s Facebook page. “Today, seeing the smile on this girl’s face just proves it!”
