The Dallas Baptist University Patriot Cheerleading Team partnered with Kinkeade Early Childhood School in Irving, Texas, on Monday, October 26 to provide encouragement for the students at the school.  The week of October 26-30 was Drug Awareness week across the nation for many schools, so the cheerleaders were able to speak with the students at Kinkeade about making smart and healthy choices for their life.  Respected role models, like the Patriot Cheerleaders, is what Kinkeade wanted to give their students during Drug Awareness week to give a positive influence that would help bless their future.   

Alek Verea, a junior on the cheerleading squad, was able to speak to the entire group of students about their future.  She shared that making smart choices now in your life will lead to a brighter future.  Many other cheerleaders were able to carry on conversations with students about drug awareness and smart choices.  To end the program, the students joined the cheerleaders in a few chants before hearing the DBU fight song performed by the cheerleaders.

“This was a great opportunity to give back to the community, and our cheerleaders did a wonderful job expressing excitement to these children.  They represented a brighter tomorrow for these students,” explained Head Cheer Coach, Skyla Alvarado.
