Panther Fund

The Panther Fund provides financial assistance for all middle and high school students in West Ottawa Public Schools who desire to participate in athletics, arts, music, theater and academics and their ability to participate has been limited due to financial constraints.  The Panther Fund is an outside non-profit and we are thankful for their partnership.  Visit their website at: https://www.thepantherfund.org/ for more information. 

WINWO:

WinWO (When in Need West Ottawa) is an internal resource designed to help students in need of anything from school supplies and backpacks, to clothing, hygiene necessities, and glasses. This support is designed for all West Ottawa students Pk-12 and is funded by our Senior Survivor event (a week-long challenge in which 12 WOHS seniors live at the school and compete to raise money for this amazing fund).  Community and family partnerships are always welcomed during this time of giving within our schools.
