Meet us at the pole

Standard students, Rosebud students from the School of the Arts and homeschoolers were diligent in praying for their schools, GHSD, teachers, and classmates.

“CONVERGE”(from Matthew 18:20) is the theme for See You at the Pole 2011, the Annual Global Day of Student Prayer. The event was scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 28, at schools across Canada, the United States and in many other countries.

Other nations have launched SYATP movements with their own promotional efforts, including Australia (where it was observed in 2011 on May 26; see stories at www.syatpaustralia.com).

This is the 21st anniversary for See You at the Pole, a student-initiated and student-led movement that started in the Ft. Worth suburb of Burleson, Texas, in 1990. SYATP brings students to their school flagpoles to intercede for their leaders, schools, and families, asking God to bring moral and spiritual awakening to their campuses and countries.

Morgan Miller, Christopher Everett, Marissa Dumonceaux, Stephanie Larsen and Emily Hostland, all from Standard School gathered at the flag pole in the yard of the school on Wednesday last week to recognize the international event held in many cities around the World.

See You at the Pole, the global day of student prayer, began in 1990 as a grass roots movement with ten students praying at their school. Twenty years later, millions pray on their campuses on the fourth Wednesday in September.

See You at the Pole is simply a prayer rally where students meet at the school flagpole before school to lift up their friends, families, teachers, school, and nation to God. See You at the Pole™ is a student-initiated, student-organized, and student-led event. Adults may participate by praying at home and standing at the edge of the organized event. The students do it all!
