The Kalona City Council has approved a 10% match to all funds raised by the Kalona Elementary School playground committee up to $250,000 or a maximum of $25,000. Jan Knebel says the committee has raised enough to purchase the playground equipment but still needed to raise $208,000 for a safe surface under the equipment. Knebel says they are looking for volunteers to help build the equipment in June. Knebel says she is very proud to be a part of something that the entire community has embraced and cant wait to see it through to the completion.
