In a meaningful school-wide tradition, Salisbury Academy's students and staff gathered for their annual "See You at the Pole" program on Wednesday. Held on the fourth Wednesday of September, the student-led rally brings millions of students together in prayer across the globe.
Middle school students led the school community in prayers for their nation, state, city, school, and students, and said a special prayer for flooding victims of the Carolinas. Salisbury Academy Music Director Dr. Rob Robertson led the school community in song.
"This tradition has great meaning and is a joyful time of unity and reflection," said Salisbury Academy Middle School Division Director Jessica Goodman.
"Witnessing our middle school students joining their school community in prayer while connecting with students at rallies around the globe is a powerful sight."
