Building Educational Excellence
Englewood Moms
Fighting For Educational Excellence
ENGLEWOOD Residents, I’ve known Collette Walker Thompson and Amy Jones Bulluck for several years. I have watched how involved they have become in the community. Some people don't know that their involvement in the ENGLEWOOD community and school system didn’t just start over the last few months.
Their involvement and concern for the welfare and fair treatment of the children of ENGLEWOOD spans over more than a decade. They have made it their mission to attend School Board meetings. They are looking for ways to become part of the solution to bring back equity in our school system. In addition to attending School Board meetings, they have helped to establish the NAACP student Organization, in which they work as mentors for the youth.
They were profoundly empathetic and helpful to Residents while organizing a "recovery mission" after our community was devastated by Hurricane Ida. They were on the front lines daily, making sure families were being cared for, with dignity and understanding. These ladies have demonstrated that they are "of" the Community in which they live.
Collette and Amy, thank you for taking up the CHALLENGE of bringing back Educational Excellence to the ENGLEWOOD PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT!
VOTE COLUMNS 7 AND 8 ON YOUR BALLOT!

Amy Jones Bulluck is Ready & Running
I have been watching Amy Jones Bulluck step up to serve her Community for a very long time. She is always on the front lines at Christmas, while making sure that the children of the incarcerated and others get presents. The Christmas Angel Tree generates loads of smiles at a time of year when many are depressed and feeling alone. She also takes a special interest in the elderly. She is a single Mother who gives of her soul and her time to those in need. I was not surprised to learn that she was on the forefront of the recovery effort first thing in the morning after Hurricane Ida tore through our City. She worked alongside other caring Souls to make sure that Englewood Residents were evacuated from devastated areas with dignity. I am proud to give my support to someone so giving. She continues to give as she announces her Candidacy for the Englewood Board of Education.
Join me in voting column 7 for Amy Jones Bulluck on November 2, 2021.
