See You at the Pole

See You at the Pole is held the 4th Wednesday in September of each year. This year it will be on September 24, and the theme is: "Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening!" 1 Samuel 3:9b. Students from schools around the nation gather at their schools’ flagpoles in the morning before school begins and pray together for their school, their communities, their country, or whatever is on their hearts. I think this is a great opportunity for students to take a stand for God, band together as Christians, and pray for important issues. It is entirely legal, even in public schools; any attempt to prohibit it by school officials is against the law.

It was started in 1990 by a group of high school students in Burleson, Texas and has grown each year. Even if you are not a student or parent, you can support a school of your choice in your community by attending this event. What a wonderful thing to be a part of: students around our country, and even in other countries like Canada and Australia, uniting together in prayer around the flagpoles of their schools.
