YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – A local construction company helps local students to finish a year-round project.
Students from Fourth Avenue Junior High School of Yuma turned a conex box into an office.
Pilkington Construction advised kids on how to install the electric system, windows and build the walls.
The goal is to encourage students to pursue a career in construction.
“This could be a career for them for later in life with exposure they are getting now,” said David Cullison, 4th. Ave. Jr. High construction teacher.
This was the first construction project at Fourth Avenue Jr. High and they’re looking forward to have more similar projects in the next school year.
