See You at the Pole

This morning was See You at the Pole. See You at the Pole is a day, specifically morning, where students across the nation go onto their campus before school and pray for the nation at their flag pole.The event is completely student led although several adults do typically attend to pray with the students.
Last week See You at the Pole announcements were put in our morning anouncements and posters were hung around the school. Students of One, the Christian club, are also wearing braceltets as a way to remind themselves and others of the event. Wearing something ie clothing, pins, stickers, and bracelets about something that you personally believe in and/or agree with always starts good conversations.
Personally I love this opportunity for the students of our nation to come together in prayer. I believe that this event should not only be marked as religious, but also as a demonstration of the many freedoms we have in our nation.

What is the significance?

I think the students should come together some other way instead of being religious.

i am religious and i think that its great that people can come together like this! it seems like today, society is becoming less and less religious and that people being open about their religion in public is becoming unacceptable. i think thats messed up! people should be excited about their religion and should feel comfortable expressing it!

I want to start an athiest club at RHS. We'll have meetings and laugh at how silly religion is. Then we'll eat cake. Sinful...

Such an interesting topic at our school, I love the diversity of views within which we live.
