he was younger, and he said it was deeply beneficial for him.
“It helped me to be a better man, and I could spread [this] knowledge to the young boys,” he said.
The Gentleman’s Club has been so successful that numerous schools have been creating their own.
Thomas E. Kerns Elementary in South Carolina also has a Gentleman’s Club; a sought-after group of 48 fourth and fifth graders.
“The Gentlemen’s Club is not just teaching you how to be a gentleman,” Elijah Shanks, a fifth grade student said. “Love who you are. Accept yourself for who you are and don’t let anybody get in the way of that.”
“It teaches you to respect others and treat them how you would want to be treated,” Gavin Curtis, a 10-year-old fourth grader added.
“I think the Gentlemen’s Club impacts these young boys with a sense of belonging,” said Principal Mark Adams. “We look at it as preparation for academics. Preparation for behavior, preparation for citizenship, because it’s our responsibility to prepare them for the next level.”
The students at Thomas E. Kerns have gourmet meals together and dine with proper etiquette.
“The food is super good,” one student mentioned.
“I think I’ve started to get in love with it,” one student said of the meal.
“This is so good. I think I’ve seen Jesus,” another student said.
One student, Curtis, wants to be a lawyer when he grows up. Elijah wants to write songs, and he feels that the Gentleman’s Club has given him the confidence to start.
“It gets me the confidence to actually do it because if i didn’t have the confidence, I would not be holding the pencil, and the pencil would not go on the paper,” Elijah said.
“I used to get in a lot of trouble,” Jose said. “But, when I heard of Gentleman’s Club, I joined. After the first meeting we had, I felt better… I started getting better grades.”
These wonderful teachers are truly making a difference for their at-risk children and are guiding them in ways which will help them for the rest of their lives.
