Saucon Valley Middle School’s iTeam was recognized for their hard work.
On Tuesday at a formal event that took place at SteelStacks, the Saucon Valley Middle School iTeam took home the award for “Best Brand Placement” in a student generated video that was created to promote the Ocean Spray Cranberries Juice Bottling Company in Breiningsville, PA. According to their website, this is Ocean Spray’s newest beverage facility that opened in 2014 that employs 180 workers. This 300,000 square foot facility is responsible for producing about 40% of Ocean Spray’s North American beverage volume.
Saucon Valley was among 30 middle schools across Lehigh, Northampton and Carbon counties that participated in this year’s “What’s So Cool About Manufacturing?” contest that is presented by Manufacturers Resource Center. Started in 2013, this contest allows students the opportunity to get a behind-the-scenes look at what goes on with many of our local manufacturers. Student teams document their experiences by editing and producing informational videos that are recognized and rewarded for their creative and promotional value.
