The Whitehall-Coplay Middle School team for What’s So Cool about Manufacturing has been hard at work finalizing a two-minute-and-thirty-second video about Lehigh Valley Plastics.

This dynamic 10-student team had the privilege of traveling to Lehigh Valley Plastics Nov. 14, 2025, where they toured, filmed and interviewed the employees there. They walked away with a true understanding of what exactly is “so cool” about manufacturing.

They have done an outstanding job as a team!

The community can view and vote on the video March 17-19 by going to whatssocool.org/contests/lehigh-valley.
