Partnering to promote local schools

HOLLAND, Mich. (WOTV) - Through the Doing More. Together. partnership, Ottawa area schools are collaborating with companies and organizations across the region to showcase the high quality education taking place in local communities. From Christian schools to public and charter schools, this unique affiliation showcases why Ottawa area schools are one of a kind.

Doing More. Together. is designed to engage individuals, families, businesses and communities, by demonstrating what Ottawa area schools have done and continue to do to prepare students for their future.

Through partnering with Maranda and "Maranda: Where You Live," Doing More. Together. shares real-life, and often untold, stories about Ottawa area schools that demonstrate why education should be valued, and how students, community members of all ages, and businesses benefit from a strong school system right in our own marketplace and community.

The first story "Maranda: Where You Live" is showcasing is that of Jim Nicolas, a dedicated teacher at Coopersville High School. (see video above)

Giving more, devoting more, volunteering more, engaging more and preparing more. It's all part of Doing More. Together. Do you have a story to tell about what makes Ottawa Area schools exceptional and able to do more together? If so, click here to submit.
