Today Is "See You At The Pole" Day

Today is the annual See You At the Pole Day. Begun in 1990, the event involves a prayer rally at the school flag pole, usually before school begins in the morning. (Background.) The student-sponsored events, coordinated by a Texas-based organization and supported by some 100 Christian churches and organizations, have spread to 20 countries. Organizers encourage students to pray for their friends, families, teachers, school, and nation.
