Have you heard about the holiday, See You at the Pole Day? If not, I will tell you. On April 6th, 1990, a group of teenagers in Burleson, Texas changed the world for a student’s retreat. One night, they decided to go to three schools and pray around the campus’ flagpoles for their friends and fellow students.
On September 15th, 1990, at a rally of teenagers in Dallas, Texas, over 20,000 people that go to the rally were challenged to organize prayer sessions at their schools, following the Burleson example. Some 45,000 students at 1,200 schools became doing it, so it became a tradition for teens.
See You at the Pole is student-led festival. Every morning of September 15th, the Christan people celebrate them. Today, they enjoy the celebration, and it will evolute more and more.
