Each year Vance County Schools presents a community partner the Shining Moment in Education Award. This year it’s times three, and when you read the names, it will be fairly self explanatory.
The local public school system stated on its web page (vcs.k12.nc.us) and through its Public Information Officer Aarika Sandlin, “We are extremely grateful for all that Maria Parham Health, Granville-Vance Public Health and NC Pediatric Associates are doing to keep our students, staff and community safe through the pandemic. These organizations have collaborated with VCS, doing vaccination clinics since January of this year.”
Vance County Schools has stated time after time that it believes in working with the community and developing partnerships with civic, business and community partners. The purpose of the Shining Moment in Education Awards is to celebrate “partners making an impact on a larger scale.”
Partnership and collaboration have allowed VCS to continue to vaccinate individuals locally.
The next vaccination clinic will take place on August 31, 2021 at Vance County Middle School from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. No appointment is necessary for anyone age 12 and up.
