Child on H4 -- ok to receive cash reward for a charity event at school?

[guest555]

My son (14 y.o.) is on H-4. They had a charity event at school and the school wants to pay them some cash as a reward for a job well done selling books for charity. Does anyone know if this is OK from the H-4 standpoint? would appreciate any help.
