Students at DeKalb West School gathered together Wednesday for the annual “See You at the Pole” event. The voluntary student-led event was held prior to the school day in the gym.
“See You at the Pole” happens across the globe each year on the fourth Wednesday of September starting at 7:00 a.m. The student prayer rally began in 1990 as a grass roots movement where students lift up their friends, teachers, school, and nation to God.
Officers of the Junior Beta Club took the lead at the prayer rally. Kortnee Skeen sang the National Anthem. Brett Walker and Aly Griffith read scriptures while Aniston Farler and Madison Martin led the crowd in prayers for the school and nation. Isaac Brown delivered the devotion while Luke and Ben Driver, accompanied by Brady Driver, sang a gospel song.
