Pictured from left, in front, are Aspyn Kinnie, Grace Roberts, Aleida Millan and Leslie Carrasco. Damari Perez is pictured behind the first row, at center. The event kicked off a walkathon scheduled to run through Thursday, Feb. 11. Participating students gathered pledges from individuals and businesses in the community and are keeping track of their steps through Feb. 11. The goal of the walkathon is to “Fight the Funk,” and boost students’ physical activity and mental health. Additionally, funds raised will be used toward the purchase of a new sound system for the new gym. — The Holyoke Enterprise | Johnson Publications
