Indianola Parks and Rec wants to remind parents of 6th-8th grade students about The Zone, a free after-school activity held every Monday and Thursday at the Indianola Middle School.

Kathy Kester with Indianola Parks and Rec tells KNIA News The Zone has been running for a long time, and it’s a great way for kids to have something to do after school ends and before parents get off work.

“We love offering that extra help and getting students a place to have fun after school ends. We always have it staffed with one of our own staff members as well as Simpson College students and youth pastors. It always has something fun to do, and we offer homework help as well.”

Special activities include gaming competitions, theme days, craft projects & contests. The Zone is held from 3:20 to 5pm.
