In general, the district provides a greater emphasis on groups and causes directly related to 1) the Anacortes School District; 2) Educational causes in general; 3) Legal requirement.

We recognize the following events/ causes. 

*Other districts and organizations may celebrate or recognize groups on different dates. These are the dates the Anacortes School District chooses to celebrate groups, individuals, and causes.
