These two ladies receiving the Top Bulldog Award are not usually on this side of the camera; you may recognize them from any Quitman ISD extracurricular activities where they capture memorable moments. Pictured to the left is Jayme Karissa, and to the right is Sheree Phillips; both make up the Bulldog Backers. Pictured in the middle is Mr. Mason, superintendent of QISD presenting them with the Top Bulldog Award. The Bulldog Backers are avid supporters of all things Bulldog, with Sheree being a Quitman alumna from the class of '98, and both of her children graduating from Quitman. Although Jayme did not graduate from Quitman High School, both of her children are proud Quitman High School graduates. When asked about why they started Bulldog Backers, this is what they had to say: “We started with taking pictures with our kids and their friends. Then it blew up from there to taking pictures for parents. From this point, we realized many parents cannot attend all of their child’s events. Brandi Box was the one who started the Bulldog Backer Facebook Page. We took over the page and developed it into a platform where parents and students can get information and pictures from various QISD events and community events. We love our community and want to continue sharing memories of the kids and community!”
It is a genuine honor to recognize these ladies as they stand out as some of the most dedicated supporters of the school. You can find all the pictures they capture on the Facebook page: Bulldog Backers. A heartfelt thank you to Bulldog Backers, and congratulations on being recognized as Top Bulldogs; you truly deserve it!
