We rounded out our petition with nearly 750 authenticated signatures. Thank you all! And even better news, the Board of Mayor and Alderman of Bell Buckle voted tonight to formally support the restoration of the Bell Buckle School. ��� This means that we can plow forth with a fundraising plan and formerly accept donations, with the confidence that funds raised will truly go toward making this dream become a reality. There is a tremendous amount of work ahead of us, and we are sure to face many challenges, but hopefully this giant hurdle will be one of our toughest battles. Much more to come! If you would like to keep up with our progress, we do have a facebook group called the Friends of the Historic Bell Buckle School, which will eventually migrate to a page. You do have to ask to join, but we're a welcoming community ☺️
