For Immediate Release
March 22, 2017
Northern Vance High School students visited on March 22 with students and teachers at E.M. Rollins Elementary School to lend a helping hand with reading, math and even recess.
The high school students are positive role models for their younger counterparts.
The Northern Vance students went in to all classrooms at E.M. Rollins, with the exception of the pre-kindergarten classes. They read books with the elementary students, talked about their favorite types of books and worked with them on math practice sheets, among other activities.
The special day was a partnership effort by administrators and teachers from the two schools. Many of the Northern Vance students attended E.M. Rollins during their elementary years in school.
Some of the students are shown in the accompanying photos as they work with the elementary children.

/by CharleneNorthern Vance Baseball vs. Orange
/by John C. RoseNorthern Vance Baseball vs. Orange can be heard this Friday beginning at 4:30 p.m. on HILLSBOROUGHSPORTS.COM.
NV played at Orange yesterday and fell 9-8. There are multiple articles available on HILLSBOROUGHSPORTS.COM.
Since WIZS 1450 cannot provide the game this Friday, due to several prior programming commitments including the UNC Tar Heels vs. Butler in the NCAA Tournament starting at 6 p.m., we are promoting the fact that Northern Vance and Vance County fans can hear the baseball game online, along with the regular HILLSBOROUGHSPORTS.COM listeners.
In partnership with Jeff Hamlin of HILLSBOROUGHSPORTS.COM, Kevin Bullock of WIZS will provide the live play by play and John Rose will be the analyst and engineer. This partnership came about because both media entities were in a position to complete the broadcast by working together. Both HILLSBOROUGHSPORTS.COM and WIZS Radio are committed to providing professional local coverage of high school and local athletes.
