Crane Middle School hosts ‘Shoot for the Stars’ event

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - A local school pushed its students to pursue higher education earlier this month.

Crane Middle School hosted its "Shoot for the Stars" event on April 9, where more than 300 Chromebooks were given away to seventh grade students for the STEM program.

The goal was to create a pathway for kids to aspire a career in technology.

"They can start taking ownership of their learning, but also what pathways are open for them after they move on from crane middle school in to high school even college," said Ryan Tyree, Principal of Crane Middle School.

The keynote speaker was Dr. Kristina Diaz with Onvida Health.
