Mrs. Bell is a great leader, but most importantly, a great person. As a former student, I do not doubt her integrity, love, and passion for everything she does. She will always go above and beyond to help anyone succeed in life. Her humbleness, compassion, and professionalism will always stand out above all, and she will always bring out the best in anyone.

We’ve been benefactors of Jenny bringing real togetherness to our neighborhood — things feel different (and better) because of her. She grew up here, attended McGavock, and it shows in her deep care for Donelson. She brings people together, solves problems with a fresh perspective, and has a vision for our schools that’s genuinely exciting. We’re proud to support her for the school board.

A happy family of four sitting on a beige couch, smiling at the camera. The father is on the left wearing a light blue T-shirt and beige shorts. The young boy, sitting next to the father, has blonde hair, blue eyes, and is holding a wooden toy. The mother, on the right, has dark hair, is wearing a white dress, and is holding a newborn baby dressed in a striped outfit.

I’m proud to support Jenny Bell in her campaign for School Board Member. As a former classmate and colleague, I’ve seen firsthand the dedication, integrity, and heart she brings to everything she does for her school community.  Mrs. Bell has always been someone who listens deeply, collaborates thoughtfully, and works tirelessly to create opportunities for others.

Each student deserves a personalized, high-quality learning experience, backed by families and community, to best prepare them to thrive in life and career. 

Education is not a one-size-fits-all model
