Have you heard about See You at the Pole? This is a student-led event where students from around the country gather around their school's flagpole to pray for their school, friends, families, teachers, and community.

If you'd like to participate, join us at the Onsted Middle School flagpole on Wednesday, September 23rd, before school. We will begin at 7:45 a.m.  Everyone is welcome to attend, whether you'd like to pray, listen, or simply stand in support with your classmates.

See You at the Pole is a voluntary, student-led event that allows students to come together in faith before the school day begins.

We hope to see you at the pole! Have a great day, Wildcats!
