What is See You at the Pole?

See You at the Pole™ is a student-initiated, student organized, and student-led event. That means this is all about students meeting at their school flagpole to pray—for their school, friends teachers, government, and their nation. See You at the Pole™ is not a demonstration, political rally, nor a stand for or against anything.

SYATP has been tasking place the fourth Wednesday in September at schools all across the nation since 1990. This activity is perfectly legal - not only are student-led prayers not prohibited by the Constitution, they are actually protected by the First Amendment. The idea of "separation of church and state" prohibits state-mandated prayer - not student-led prayer.

This year's event will take place Wednesday, September 23.

If you are intersted in leading or participating in a SYATP event at your school, the best way to spread the word is by word-of-mouth. Tell and invite everyone you know. And be sure someone speaks with the school administration to let them know the event is taking place. If the administrator is relectant, do not argue. This event is about prayer, not legal rights. Move the event off school property, and let your pastor leader know so they can contact the administrator.
