A popular way many counties celebrate National County Government Month is holding "county official of the day" events. In Cumberland County, N.J., they do it in a big way.
During the county's 9th Annual Cumberland County Government Day, county officials allowed 64 eighth-grade students from local schools to learn about county government and explore career options by "shadowing" county employees for a day.
Said one student quoted in the The News of Cumberland County:
“I’m hoping to learn how government plays a part and helps out,” said Brenda Zeck of Cumberland Christian School. “I want the inside scoop.”
