See You at the Pole Event Held

In spite of a drizzling rain, students, parents, teachers and staff gathered Sept. 23 for the 30th annual See You at the Pole.

The event looked different this year, but the fundamentals remained the same, a time set aside for prayer over the school and school year. It is organized and led by students.

This year the theme was ‘Return, Restore, Revive’ based on a Scripture passage from 2 Kings. The three hitch pins were returned to the Lord, restore relationships for healing and revive the nation.

See You at the Pole is held the fourth Wednesday of September each year and thousands of students nationwide meet at their school’s flagpole at 7 a.m. for prayer.

This year the event at many localities was live streamed to stay inside the Covid-19 protocols.
