It is asking a lot of  ask high school students to get up an hour before they normally do and start their day. It is also asking a lot to get a good group to come to a school event before school starts.

However that did not stop 90 people from showing up to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes annual See You at the Pole on Wednesday, September 24 at 7 a.m.

“I thought this was a great event for our school,” said FCA advisor Nick Lovrich. “Our FCA leaders did an awesome job promoting, organizing, and leading the event.  For us to have 90 people choose to come to the school at 7 am to pray for our school and our community is a testament to the type of young people we have at B-A.”

See You at the Pole is a global student-initiated event on the fourth Wednesday in September before school, where students gather to pray and worship. This is also open for anyone in the community.

FCA officers were responsible for making this morning possible, by organizing devotional readings to share with those in attendance, reading those stories to the group, leading prayer groups.

President Chloe Stoltzfus, Vice President Cooper Lovrich, Secretary Lilly Gerwert, and Treasurer Martin Fatzinger all played a part.

“I liked how it turned out,” Stoltzfus stated. “I just think it is a great way to lighten the community.”
