See You @ the Pole

Before I forget, here's another lame joke I have:
What do you do when you're bored?


Play board games!!!
Ahahahaha get it?

Anyway, today was the annual See You At the Pole. SYATP was started in 1990 by a group of teenage students in Burleson, Texas. I don't know the exact history, but they basically met at the flagpole at their school in the morning before school started to pray for the school year, students, teachers, etc. By mouth, internet, and whatever else, the word about SYATP spread. Now, it's an international event that happens every year!

At Lynbrook, we actually had a "See You At the Quad" because the area around the flagpole is really cramped. We prayed a lot, sang worship songs, and went into small groups to get to know other people. What was cool was that 5-10 minutes before school started, we were still praying and singing as people started walking to their classes. Since we were in the quad which is pretty much the center of the school, almost everyone probably either heard or saw us singing. Lots of people joined in, and others looked at us like we were weird. But at least we spread awareness to the school! Actually, I heard the people in my first class mocking us and making fun of the songs, but I was surprised I didn't mind. So that was good. :)))

Overall, it was a really good experience! :D
