LAS VEGAS ( FOX5 ) — What started at a crosswalk near Arbor View High School has grown into a grassroots mothers’ movement aimed at helping students get to and from school safely.
The movement was born from the tragic death of 18-year-old McKenzie Scott in May. Scott was hit and killed in a crosswalk by an alleged drunk driver when she was only days away from graduating from Arbor View High School.
Now, Walk Safely LV operates from founder Krista Holloway’s dining room table, which doubles as the organization’s headquarters. The Las Vegas-based group focuses on providing crossing guard services and advocating for safer school crosswalks. Wednesday, Holloway said Walk Safely LV is an official nonprofit organization.
