Please join us for our 3rd Annual Gentlemen’s Round Table Breakfast on June 7th. We will start promptly at 8:15am and conclude at 9:30am. The Gentlemen’s Round Table Breakfast will take place in the Roosevelt Middle School cafeteria. Please register online.
Our breakfast is designed to introduce 7th grade male students to the idea of fostering relationships with men in the world of work, and the notion of beginning to plan for a future career. We are always in need of professional men who would be willing to come and sit with our students over lunch on Fridays. The purpose of the breakfast is for men to relate their own personal narratives regarding their current professions. Dr. Stephen Russell, former Superintendent of Dartmouth Public Schools and current Superintendent of Salem Public Schools will speak and introduce keynote speaker Diarny Fernandes a senior at Greater New Bedford Vocational Technical High School, who will be entering the School of Engineering at Umass Dartmouth

About Gentlemen’s Round Table
All Gentlemen have taken the following pledge: “As a member of the Gentlemen’s Round Table I freely accept and take a pledge of Non-Violence for our school. This means that I will be responsible for not getting involved in fights, arguments or any type of action that might provoke a negative response from another individual (s). I will with respect toward others try to resolve the problem without taking sides and I will try my best to resolve arguments as not to impose a negative attitude on my daily encounters with others. I will treat everyone I encounter with respect and dignity regardless of race, gender, religion or sexual orientation. I will not participate in name-calling or bullying. I will seek the help of fellow members to assist me in fulfilling my pledge. This is my pledge as a Gentleman.”
Mission: Our goal is to connect young men (middle school students) to be prepared for further education, build personal character, train in the responsibilities of participating citizenship, develop personal fitness, make healthy choices and be inspired to lead lives of humility, with a dedication to serving others.
Vision: The Gentlemen’s Round Table creates a community of people who support young men in their quest to stand together and serve others while developing their own interpersonal and leadership skills.
