OSKALOOSA, Iowa (KCCI) — Police in Oskaloosa are working with the school district to recognize young people for their kindness through the Cops for Kind Kids program, with Fallon Cronin being honored this month for her inspiring actions.
Fallon was chosen after teachers said she started an impromptu dance party with a classmate during a free period. The district says it’s now become an everyday tradition, inspiring a lot of fun and friendship.
Honorees usually get a personal award, like a new bike. But when Fallon found out she’d won, she chose to pay it forward.
She asked the department to support the Stephen Memorial Animal Shelter in town. Police say they gave the shelter $200 worth of food, toys and treats.
