Students at several Flagler County schools participated in the national See You at the Pole prayer event on Sept. 27.

Students met in the morning before school around the school's flag pole for prayer at Imagine School at Town Center, Indian Trails Middle School, Buddy Taylor Middle School, Flagler Palm Coast High School and First Baptist Christian Academy. See You at the Pole is a student-led, national prayer event held on the fourth Wednesday of September, according to the official SYATP Facebook page.

At Imagine, 15 students in the fifth through eighth grades participated in the event, seventh-grade teacher Jessica Bowman wrote in an email to the Observer.

Bowman wrote that adults led the prayer at Imagine because of the age of the students who chose to participate.

"[See You at the Pole] is a time for students to come together in fellowship and share the opportunity to pray," Bowman wrote.

Danielle Geiger, a member of Flagler Fellowship of Christian Athletes, said FCA helped support students who chose to participate by helping them decide which scriptures to read from and how to pray.

Geiger said a group of 25 students participated at FPCHS, about 10 students participated at BTMS and around four students at ITMS.
