Welcome to all interested Patriot Yell Squad members and parents!
The Donnie Bickham Middle School Patriot spirit group has been the most vital support group for the Patriots since the beginning of the school! The spirit group consists of the Yell Squad, the Patriot cheerleaders, the Patriot Belles danceline, and the Patriettes colorguard. Just ask around the neighborhood, and you will soon learn that this group of girls represents high morals, are the basis for everlasting friendships, and are student leaders in the school.
If you desire to become a Patriot cheerleader or Patriot Belle, you must have one year of Yell Squad experience. If you choose to remain with the Yell Squad, you will represent a leadership position in the squad as you progress through your Bickham years.
I am working diligently to find a cost efficient uniform for this season. The total uniform cost will roughly be around $200-$225. Your items must be paid for in full at the time that you receive your order. No one will be able to perform until all items are paid in full.
Attached you will find a contact form. Please fill out the needed information and return the form to Mrs. Perry. There is also a $25.00 spirit group registration fee. The $25.00 nonrefundable fee is included in the total price and must accompany this form to register for Yell Squad as it helps pay for supplies throughout the year. Please pay all fees through payforit.net! *PLEASE NOTE: Students that are currently enrolled at another school may pay the fees by cash.
There is a mandatory parent meeting on Tuesday May 17, 2022 at 6:00 pm via Zoom. The $25.00 must be paid prior to the meeting. Information regarding the mandatory Zoom will be sent out via email so please ensure that an updated email address is used on the students contact form.
You can print the Yell Squad Contact (in Documents) or pick up a form from the office of DBMS or our neighborhood school partners. Please pay a $25.00 registration fee to accompany this form on or prior to Friday, May 13 through payforit.net (currently enrolled DBMS students) or cash.

Elementary parents: A letter went home today asking who would be interested in having the YEP program at Donnie Bickham next year. It says to fax the completed form to the YEP coordinator, but you may return it to the school and I will fax it to them myself. Please send the completed form back to school with your child. Their teacher will collect them and give them to me. Thank you, CARRIE BROCK
