BURLESON, Texas - Most of the students who sang and prayed around their school flagpoles before class yesterday hadn't been born when "See You At The Pole" began in 1990.
What started with a small group of believers in Burleson, Texas, has since spread to thousands of private and public schools nationwide, with an estimated two million students taking part.
Christian students gathered again yesterday, as they do on the fourth Wednesday every September, to pray for themselves, their schools and their nation.
Some said it strengthened their faith. Others said it helped them recognize classmates whom they hadn't known were fellow Christians.
