Each year for Manufacturing Day, the Development Authority of Bulloch County works with schools, local industries and Ogeechee Technical College to show eighth-graders what manufacturing jobs look like firsthand. About 175 eighth-grade students signed up for the Manufacturing Day experience on Oct. 6, reported Teresa Phillips, Bulloch County Schools executive director for career, technical and agricultural education. They hailed from all of the school system's middle-grades campuses.
