When a Community Shows Up, Everyone Wins

You don’t have to have a student at Marysville Getchell to feel pride when you walk past a school buzzing with energy.

You feel it when you hear the band practicing after hours. When you see families gathered on a Friday night. When students represent their school — and their city — with confidence.

That pride doesn’t happen by accident.

It’s built when a community decides that its schools are worth investing in. When businesses, retirees, alumni, parents, and neighbors all play a role — not because they’re asked to, but because they want to.

The LED screen project is one example of what happens when a community shows up together. It’s a shared investment in celebration, connection, and belonging. It tells every student who walks through those doors that they’re part of something bigger than themselves.

And it tells the community something important too: this is a place that cares about its future.

Strong schools attract strong communities. They encourage families to stay, businesses to invest, and graduates to come back. When we support our students, we’re not just shaping individual lives — we’re strengthening Marysville as a whole.

This is the work of Boosters. Not just fundraising, but community-building. Creating moments where people from all walks of life can rally around something positive, hopeful, and lasting.

Action Item: Ask yourself how you want to show up for the next generation. Whether it’s attending a school event, sharing our story with others, becoming a sponsor, or simply talking about why strong schools matter — your presence helps build the community we all share.
