Kalona offers Kalona Kash to active kids

Posted

The city of Kalona has come up with a way to keep children active – and pay them to do so.

Until April 12, the city is sponsoring “Happy, Healthy and Productive.”

“We want everyone to stay positive and active while on break,” City Administrator Ryan Schlabaugh said. “To encourage kids to stay motivated, the city of Kalona is offering $5 in Kalona Kash for children that can complete some simple, fun activities.”

Kalona Kash is offered by the Kalona Area Chamber of Commerce and can be used at selected businesses around the city.

Tasks include:

• Reading at least 100 minutes a week. Check the Kalona Library Facebook page for storytime, craft or story walk.

• Exercise. The Kalona YMCA has created home workout videos that can be viewed online.

• Doing chores around the house.

A new form is available each week go to https://bit.ly/KalonaWeek1 to download the form.

The program runs until April 12 or until allocated funds run out. The Kalona Kash certificates will be mailed within five to 10 days of the form submission.
