See You at the Pole (SYATP) is an international, student-led prayer event that started in the early 1990s in Texas. It has now spread to many countries around the world. Students meet at their school flagpole at 7 a.m. on the last Wednesday of September to pray for their schools, communities and world. The prayer time is student designed and student led, though they can ask for adult assistance at any time.
