THANK YOU so MUCH for being on this crazy journey with me for the second time! It has been one for the record books and I am ready to continue to do and be a part of the great work being done in D303! Thank you for trusting me with your votes and for scrolling to the bottom to find me in particular. In doing so, you showed a very CLEAR message that you want me here because so far, 6,797 of you sought me out on purpose! It is amazing to me that more than TWICE the number of people came out to vote for me compared to the my first election in 2021. That speaks volumes to me that the public feels I am doing the job on the board they voted me in to do and clearly 2x as many people showed up for me to make sure I stayed there! Thank you to each and every voter, a HUGE thank you to my hubby Scott who hates the limelight but stepped into it for me and my goals in keeping a promise to our son, my boys O & S who always give me strength each day, my FR mommas (you know who you are) who support me no matter what, my bestie Debbie and all my high school and college friends who have shared my posts and asked their STC friends to vote for me, my beyond AMAZING dear friend who is a very talented artist, local musician and all around GREAT guy Greg Hyde who helped me out by tweaking my 2021 campaign graphics for the 2025 election, the 2 new AWESOME incoming female board members Kim & Jenna for standing by my side through a very difficult and often times exhausting campaign, a special NEW friend who found ME named Katie Bell (yes, who knew there are 2 Kate Bells who serve on school boards not far from Chicago 😳) and last but certainly NOT least, ALL the D303 staff and kiddos asking me to do this crazy thing one last time. Here we go, another 4 years, time to get to work! THANK YOU! ~ Kate Bell out 💜
