“Teasley Elementary would like to invite all students that are currently in 3^rd-5^th grades to apply to be a member of Distinguished Gentlemen/PEARLS.  This is a wonderful opportunity for students who were not a part of this wonderful mentorship program previously,  to be a part of it this year.  If your child is interested in joining a group of young individuals that want to make a change in their school and community, please completely read the requirements and commitments of DG/PEARLS below.

·       Each Wednesday, leaders are required to wear khaki pants, a white button-down dress shirt, a tie, and dress shoes (for the gentlemen) khaki bottoms, a white cardigan, and nice shoes ( for young ladies).  Please, no tennis shoes.
