"Breakfast with Gentlemen" at Gibson Elementary

In the Winston-Salem Journal, reporter Michael Bragg writes about the “Breakfast with Gentlemen” event at Gibson Elementary. Photos are by Walt Unks:

Fourth- and fifth-grade male students at Gibson Elementary School did breakfast a little differently Friday morning.
They took their trays into the gymnasium, where they were met by men from the community who volunteered to have breakfast with these students and help get their days off to a positive start.
It’s an initiative at Gibson in its second year that asks men from Winston-Salem and Forsyth County to sit down with a few students and give them encouragement over breakfast before school starts. It also instills the image and presence of a positive male role model into their lives.
“I think today’s going to be a great day, and just because I’m here it’s going to be a better one,” said Tristan Muhammad, a fifth-grader at Gibson.
