Did anybody's school do that today?? If they did, did you go?? I WENT!

It was kinda funny. We didn't have a flag to "gather" around...the one in the front was by all the construction and we couldn't go there, and we couldn't get in to use the one by the football field, so they brought out this rolly basketball hoop, minus the hoop, so it was just a big pole on wheels, so we held hands around that...then eventually they put a little flag inside it....

We just sang songs and prayed and stuff....it was great.

Titania · 09-18-2002, 07:43 PM

I was there!

my schools done it for several years now- it was funny at the middle school because they're flagpole is on the roof....lol. the kids just stood at the side of the building. We have a flagpole at the high school tho.
About 15 people showed up and several teachers which is the most we've ever had. My french teachers son plays guitar so he comes every year and plays. We sang some, prayed, and I was later to homeroom then usual, lol. Yeah, its cool.

For anyone who doesn't know what it is, See You at the Pole is a little yearly thingie where Christian kids cut classes to show their support for religious rights at school and pray for important stuff like NO GREEN MEAT LOAF IN THE CAFETERIA and SEX ED TEXTBOOKS WITH PICTURES and stuff like that there.

So you think the Pole everyone was seeing everyone else at felt
a little picked on and singled out, and wished they would've chosen See You at the Czech NEXT year???

Ummmm...close but no cigar.

obody has to cut class because it takes place before school starts. There are usually 2 in my town. One at the highscool and one at the college.

See You at The Pole is a prayer rally. Chrsitians of different religions gather and pray for the town and for the upcoming year. Anybody and everybody is invited to attend. It really is alot of fun. You get to talk, laugh, sing and pray with alot of people.

If you want more information, you can go to this website.
