(Thanks to the website of NWC where I found this pic!...obviously, it's not from today

I still remember my 8th grade year...the first time I heard of See You at the Pole. I was nervously excited about it. My dad brought me to Chippewa at 7am. No one was there. It was sad. We sat in the car and prayed and then he took me out to breakfast and back to school. I found out later that they actually met at 7:30..oops, oh well. But when I got to MV, I made sure to make it. I was always encouraged to see the turn out and excited to take the opportunity to pray and befriend other Christians in my school. I wish I could still take part in it today!
This morning as I dropped off the kids at MV, it almost brought tears to my eyes (touching tears) to see a group of kids gather around the flagpole in the pouring rain. It brought back memories of my faith and involvement in high school and it excited me to see kids do it today. Our nation needs kids who will stand up like that and take the time to pray for their nation, their school, each other....I hope that this is something that they live out daily, or are learning to live out daily and proclaim out at times other than the third Wednesday of the school year.....Kudos and thanks to those students who stood out in the rain....at MV, around the area....and around the nation. "God let us be a generation that seeks Your face, O God of Jacob."
