Local elementary students see glimpse into their future

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - Local students got a glimpse into their future this morning. Dorothy Hall Elementary School celebrated their annual career day and tunnel of hope event!

Over 80 representatives from different companies visited campus representing different career fields from construction to healthcare to law enforcement and even agriculture. Both teachers and students share their favorite parts of the day.

"I'm excited for the police because I wanted to also be a police officer when I grow up if playing in the MLB doesn't work out, and I'm excited because we can experience different jobs that we could do when we're older," said student Easton Mendoza.

"We are so so so thankful to all the careers that are here today all the vendors- all the companies,. This truly is what the Yuma community is. They show up for our kids, they show up for our community and we are so thankful for them," said teacher Shelby Lagunas.

Over 500 students were in attendance. The school career fair is an annual event held every January.
