Local retired Navy veteran and business owner Josette Curtis shares why she’s voting yes for the 2026 Anacortes school levies.
She and her husband chose Anacortes before they even had kids because they knew about the quality of the public schools and wanted any future kids they had to have those opportunities available to them. She says it’s important that just because kids from Anacortes are from a small town that they don’t lose out on opportunities to learn and grow and find their niche.
“A big priority for students nowadays is their mental health,” says Curtis, “and having pursuits that they can dedicate their time and energy to, I think, really goes a long way toward preserving that. They’re not sitting at home idle. They’re in a group of peers they can support and who can support them; they can find something that fits for them and allows them to develop their personality, and gives them an opportunity to excel at.”
Please join Josette in voting yes for Anacortes Schools!
