About 200 Hollinger Elementary School fourth- and fifth-graders will mark the end of Red Ribbon Week activities with a walk beginning at 9 a.m. on Oct. 28 from the school, 150 W. Ajo Way, to Wakefield Middle School, 101 W. 44th St.

Hollinger students and staff will be joined on their walk by drummers, cheerleaders and student council members from Pueblo High Magnet High School, 3500 S. 12th Ave. At the middle school, students will be welcomed by Wakefield Principal Carmen Kemery who will help kick off closing activities including poem recitations and drug-free pledges by Hollinger and Wakefield students and cheerleading performances by Pueblo students. Anti-drug posters will also be exchanged. Activities will conclude with students walking back to Hollinger Elementary School at about 10:30 a.m.

The walk will mark the end of week-long activities at the school celebrating Red Ribbon Week, a grassroots anti-drug education campaign commemorating the late DEA agent Enrique Camarena, who lost his life in the fight against drugs. During this special week, schools throughout TUSD hold special events and activities designed to reduce and prevent drug abuse and violence.
