Toomer Elementary School in eastern Atlanta is dedicating a new wheelchair ramp Wednesday to celebrate Walk to School Day.

The wheelchair ramp will ensure inclusion and accessibility for all of the school’s students, according to Atlanta Public Schools.

Students, parents, administrators and community leaders plan to gather for a ribbon cutting for the ramp, which provides access to the school’s playground.
